Long time ago I remember reading about some service, that allows using single use credit cards. Last year I was looking for it, as many services cannot ne trusted with this information. But I could nothing like it. Maybe I was just dreaming...

Getting a legit card like that could be possible, but I don't think its worth of hassle and possible costs. Some companies practically throw these cards on you, but usually there is a catch.

Capital One has an app called Eno which generates alternate card numbers, but they are still tied to the same account and identity.

My capital one card has virtual cards, and I’ve seen it other places. The only issue is that it’s done by a browser add on that has incredibly high permissions. I handle it by using a separate Firefox profile for the rare occasions I need to use them. I start Firefox with that profile, use it, then go back into my normal profile.
