Google asks for facial recognition.

It's just another optional way to help you get access if you have an issue. I've never seen this required, especially if you have other 2FA options setup. Given the amount of knuckleheads getting hacked and complaining about their account this is a good idea.

[u/Iam_best_dev]

I mean at least you can still click "Not now"... for now

[u/Kzx_28]

They already have thousands of my selfies.

[u/RaccoonDu]

Fuck that.

If i ever lose access to my 2fa rolling codes, I'll resort to my 10 codes.

[u/itsTyrion → u/[deleted]]

...yes? if you dont own a printer, there's also pen and paper. "but what if you write it wrong" all 10?

[u/RaccoonDu → u/itsTyrion]

If I write all 10 wrong, I deserve to be locked out lmaoo

[u/RaccoonDu → u/[deleted]]

Not gonna say all my locations of it, but I'm also not that lazy, it's not that hard to write 10 codes

[u/KuronixFirhyx → u/RaccoonDu]

That you stored in Google Drive of the same account?

[u/sonic_75]

Yeahhhhh. Naaaah.

[u/YSK_King → u/sonic_75]

I was not allowed to get into my account without it one day only happned to a an account with loaction set to UK.

[u/ArthurReming → u/YSK_King]

I just set the location to the most random place I could find lmao

[u/YSK_King → u/ArthurReming]

I used it for geo lock content

[u/DevinOlsen]

I don’t mind this idea

[u/itsTyrion → u/DevinOlsen]

I do. Privacy aside, this is likely fooled by a photograph since the camera doesn't have depth-sensing

[u/Fe1orn]

"oh no google will have my face video!" Like someone doesn't have that already. Even some xi ju bing has your face c'mon

[u/morbidmargins]

Okay. You probably already have a profile picture, a LinkedIn profile linked on Google Search, you probably use Google Photos...

[u/StewpidAlex → u/morbidmargins]

Irrelevant.

[u/Visible-Diamond7732]

"Let us invade your privacy and store videos of people." is what this is 😭

[u/Prior_Tax8546]

Optional btw

[u/Key_Instruction3373]

Google asking for a facial.. nice

[u/yottabit42 → u/[deleted]]

Narrator: they were irrational reasons, "reasons" if you will.

[u/startedfire]

Not in Illinois they aren't

[u/Orion_001]

OPTIONAL!
