After simplifying third-party sign-ups with your Google account and repeatedly urging you to replace passwords with passkeys, Google now wants you to sign in with a selfie video. Google launched the new sign-in method in July, and while it’s still not available in all regions, it can now be seen prompting users to set up login via selfie video.

Google has now started soliciting users to try the video selfie sign-in feature via its homepage on desktop. According to Search Engine Watch, the tech giant has started displaying a banner on its homepage to promote the new sign-in method.
