Agree. If Google and Apple can do per-app passwords for apps or websites that don't work with 2-factor authentication it seems like Visa should be able to kick out a per-merchant number for Comcast, Netflix, etc.

If the underlying credit card number is compromised, just change that and leave the virtual in place.

This used to work with Paypal virtual debit cards. At some point in the last 5 years they decided to cancel the program.

Just a quick chime in here - our system does in fact do that, and though I can't speak with authority about others, my understanding is that they do the same.
