> one time use "credit card numbers" generated at the time of the transaction

PayPal used to have that feature but got rid of it for some reason.

Google Pay still offers this. I have a virtual card number that is given to merchants instead of my real CC number. I don't know if this is a feature for all of Google Pay or requires special integration with my particular CC/bank.

Capital One still has this feature for online transactions.

AMEX did too, I think the problem is the keyspace is small enough that it would be a serious problem.

Discover had that for a while, many years ago.
