Google really wants you to record a video selfie in case you get locked out of your account

YubiKey 5C NFC Security Key — If you'd rather not rely on a video selfie to recover your Google account, a hardware security key like the YubiKey offers a tangible, phishing-resistant way to prove it's really you. It works seamlessly with Google's 2-Step Verification and Advanced Protection Program, giving you a physical backup that doesn't involve facial scans. It's a great complement to whatever backup method Google is pushing this week.
