Many banks have been providing auto-expiring virtual card numbers. This is a 10 year old feature. They also let you set a small credit limit for each number.

- bityard 4y ago20 year old feature. Discover used to have a flash app on their website for generating unique card numbers linked to your account on their site. It saved me from more than a few shady websites and breaches. They discontinued it with the rationale that they didn't need it anymore because their fraud prevention worked well enough by itself or something.
