    If you have a YubiKey or similar USB hardware keystore, you can authenticate to Amazon and some other retailers for a purchase using it today.

    I was leaning more toward Nintendo doing this, since they already have NFC readers in the Switch but Sony was my second guess due to their rapid decline into fucking insanity.
