W3C Web Payments Roadmap

I know FIDO will be in charge of this, but please don't make web payment authentication or any other "next-gen" authentication APIs biometrics-only. At least make it so people can use 2 or even 3 factors at the same time to authenticate, such as say fingerprint, USB key and Bluetooth-enabled unlock from a close device. Or face + fingerprint + password. Or face + gestures + voice, and so on.

The goal of the Web Payements API, from what I understand, is not to create new mechanisms, but to enable websites to leverage existing payment instruments via a standard JS API, with the browser acting as an intermediary.

It’s up to the browser and/or OS to manage the user’s payment instruments and provide them to websites that use the API.

Boom. This right here. This will lower the bar-to-entry for smaller publishers, bloggers, websites to ask for support from their users.
