What about using it to help detect phishing sites. For example, when filling out a user/password form, if the touch bar displayed the domain name (not the full URL) we're submitting to (for example mybank.com), that might help prevent some phishing attacks. The user just has to glance down at the bar to confirm they're submitting to mybank.com.
This only works if we don't allow web pages to control what is displayed on the touch bar.
