Payments and financial transactions are made without a physical card (and without a password). Payment information of a payer is functionally handicapped while stored in a payment user profile on a hosting payment processor server. When a payment request from a payee is received by the payment processor server, a QR-code or other machine readable information is generated for display by a payee device. Once the QR-code is scanned by the payer device, a human gesture is requested in order to unlock the payment information stored in the payment user profile. The correct human gesture reconstitutes the key (or security data) stored on the payer device, and then transmits the key to the payment processor server for reconstituting another key used to enable payment information to be used to execute the payment.
