Google introduces new ‘selfie video’ sign-in method

Ew.

This is BESIDES the captcha selfie?! Boy Google reaaally wants your facial features, real bad.

One of the banking apps I use has two ways to set up:

• Scan a QR code in Internet banking, set up with SMS + password in the bank. Requires real Google Play Services.

• Scan both sides of an ID and your face from multiple angles, to be sent to some "partners" for matching.
