Microsoft account app requires access to your camera. why?

[AC Question]

It's a simple question that worries me about what the Microsoft account does with my camera.

This is the link to the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.msa.authenticator&hl=en

If you check the permission it clearly says "take pictures and videos". I don't quite understand why that app requires such permissions.
