Forgot your Google password? Now you can log in with a selfie.

忘记了谷歌密码？现在你可以通过自拍登录了。

Getting locked out of an account is no fun. Google has a few ways to help you regain access if you happen to forget your password or lose an authenticator, including recovery contacts and backup codes. Now, Google has a completely new option: your face. You can now give Google a video record of your face and sign into your account with a selfie, which sounds like something people are going to just love. 无法登录账户绝非乐事。如果用户不慎忘记密码或丢失了身份验证器，谷歌此前已提供多种恢复访问权限的方式，包括恢复联系人和备份代码。现在，谷歌推出了一项全新的选择：使用你的面部信息。你现在可以向谷歌提供一段面部录像，并通过自拍登录账户，这听起来会是用户非常喜欢的功能。

You will have to set this feature up ahead of time if you want the option of regaining account access with a selfie later on. To get started, verify your account type is supported. You won’t be able to configure selfie sign-ins for Workspace accounts, child accounts, or any account enrolled in Google’s Advanced Protection Program. 如果你希望日后能通过自拍恢复账户访问权限，则必须提前设置此功能。在开始之前，请先确认你的账户类型是否支持该功能。目前，Workspace 账户、儿童账户或已加入谷歌“高级保护计划”（Advanced Protection Program）的账户无法配置自拍登录。

Configuring selfie sign-in requires you to record a video, which Google will store on its servers. Google’s selfie sign-in landing page includes the typical disclaimers about privacy and data access, promising that the company will keep the video encrypted and won’t use it for any other purposes unless you opt in. Selfie videos can be used for login purposes, to verify your age for accessing certain account features, and to create an AI avatar. 配置自拍登录需要录制一段视频，谷歌会将该视频存储在其服务器上。谷歌的自拍登录页面包含了关于隐私和数据访问的常规免责声明，承诺会对视频进行加密存储，且除非用户主动授权，否则不会将其用于其他任何目的。这些自拍视频可用于登录、验证访问特定账户功能的年龄，以及创建 AI 头像。

Currently, Google does have an optional toggle in the setup flow that allows the company to use your selfie video to improve its facial recognition tech. A Google spokesperson confirms this is not required to use the new account recovery feature, and the company will not use the video for anything else if you leave the box unchecked. 目前，谷歌在设置流程中提供了一个可选开关，允许公司使用你的自拍视频来改进其面部识别技术。谷歌发言人证实，使用新的账户恢复功能并不强制开启此选项；如果你不勾选该框，公司将不会将视频用于其他用途。

Assuming you’re okay with all that, you will use the camera on your phone or computer to record yourself looking around as instructed. This allows Google’s models to accurately map your face so the system can compare that to selfies you take in the future to verify your identity. Google notes it may ask users to update their selfie videos on occasion. 假设你接受上述条款，你只需使用手机或电脑摄像头，按照指示环顾四周进行录制。这能让谷歌的模型准确地绘制你的面部特征，以便系统在未来将你拍摄的自拍与原始数据进行比对，从而验证你的身份。谷歌指出，它可能会不时要求用户更新自拍视频。

When you use a selfie to access your account, Google will have you move your head around to ensure you’re a living human. It matches this data against the original video, and boom, you’re logged in. However, in the age of AI, it’s not very hard to make deepfake videos of someone. It’s even possible to do that in near real-time, as would be required for Google account recovery. 当你使用自拍访问账户时，谷歌会要求你转动头部，以确保你是真人。系统会将此数据与原始视频进行匹配，然后，你就成功登录了。然而，在 AI 时代，制作某人的深度伪造（deepfake）视频并不困难。甚至可以近乎实时地完成这一操作，而这正是谷歌账户恢复过程所需要的。

Google claims it has multiple layers of security measures to detect deepfakes, but this method may not be as secure as other options. After all, Google won’t allow those using Advanced Protection to use selfie sign-ins. Advanced Protection also requires you to use a security key, restricts third-party apps from accessing your account, and conducts more Gmail scans to detect phishing. 谷歌声称其拥有多层安全措施来检测深度伪造，但这种方法可能不如其他选项安全。毕竟，谷歌并不允许使用“高级保护计划”的用户使用自拍登录。高级保护计划还要求用户使用安全密钥，限制第三方应用访问账户，并进行更严格的 Gmail 扫描以检测网络钓鱼。

If you don’t mind giving Google your face, you can record a selfie video in just a few minutes. Google notes that you can choose to delete the video from its servers at any time from your account settings. 如果你不介意向谷歌提供面部信息，只需几分钟即可录制好自拍视频。谷歌提醒，你可以随时在账户设置中选择从其服务器上删除该视频。
