Assets related to Apple Pay in macOS Sierra 10.12.1 show that the toolbar will indeed come with a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, allowing users to use Apple Pay on the web.

The images spotted by MacRumors show how the keyboard automatically adapts to different apps and tasks. Thanks to the impressive darks achieved by the OLED screen, the bar morphs seamlessly with the rest of the MacBook Pro keys.
