Click buy. Pay with a selfie. Done.
Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) is looking into allowing shoppers to pay with a selfie. The online retailer has filed a patent application for the technology, saying it is more secure and less "awkward" than traditional passwords.
Customers would be able to take a picture or a short video of themselves to authenticate payments, instead of typing in a password.
Amazon's facial recognition system would ensure it's the actual customer -- and not hackers, thieves or kids using their parents' devices -- who is making the purchase.

What does it ask the user in order to verify that its a human taking the selfie?
Which brand is using the same principle of the selfie?
What do you think after reading the article would it be a good idea or not, Do you think there could be any problems?
