@marcoscaceres: > This is not the view at Mozilla at least - or the market in general, where credit cards are still seeing growth and customers still wanting to use credit cards for online payments [1]. It's likely ~10-20 years before we see credit cards diminish significantly - or where we would be able to drop support from the Web. Incremental security improvements like 3DS and tokenized payments are very welcomed, but I don't think credit/debit cards (and hence BasicCard) are going anywhere for a long long time. The `basic-card` payment method is not the same as card payments. The time it will take for cards to disappear completely for online payments (which I don't agree will be +10 years, this is an entirely subjective opinion) is irrelevant. Our goal has always been to bootstrap this API with a simple payment method where browsers can provide a clear card PAN but that we will replace this with a more secure method and deprecate `basic-card` as soon as possible. Happy to try and dig up old minutes if you need but that has definitely been stated multiple times by, among others, @adrianba and @zkoch who submitted the first PR API spec. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
