A computer-implemented method for authenticating a user device via a device credential scoped to a common domain shared among a plurality of payment networks may be provided. The method may include receiving, by a server of a payment network, a first request redirected from a sub-domain assigned to the payment network to a domain name associated with the payment network, responsive to the first request, transmitting, to the user device, an authentication request comprising a challenge, a user identifier that identifies the user, and the common domain to which the device credential is scoped, receiving, from the user device, a response, accessing the device credential, the device credential having been stored by the payment network, validating the response based on the device credential, and causing, by the server, the user identifier and the device credential to be federated to the other ones of the plurality of payment networks based on the validating.

A method of establishing a digital identity for use of an online service and of subsequently using the digital identity to perform the online service is described. A digital identity for the online service is bound to computer hardware associated with the digital identity. A user associated with the digital identity provides a user authentication at the computer hardware associated with the digital identity. The digital identity is enrolled for the online service, and a first instance of the online service for the digital identity is performed. A common user authentication process result completes enrolment of the digital identity and authenticates the digital identity for performing said first instance of the online service.
