Amazon are interested in this because they don't want customers to store the passwords on their phones as this creates a huge security risk, whereas a selfie or a video wouldn't require any memorisation and wouldn't put the user's data in danger.
"Under the scenario in the patent application, a phone or computer “can prompt the user to perform certain actions, motions, or gestures, such as to smile, blink, or tilt his or her head.”
