From Sophos Naked Security:
MasterCard promises (slow) death to online payment passwords
One Time Passwords (OTP), whether done via a key fob or sent as a text message to your phone would be my choice. Not so sure I like the biometric options. While fingerprints aren't a bad idea things like retina scans can facilitate the communication of flu/colds... and tying a heart monitor to authentication seems a bit error prone and fraught with potential liability. What if you just finished at the gym? Better yet, what's the liability if the monitor senses you're about to have a heart attack and DOESN'T notify you &/or 911 or your physician?
