There were one or two other things at the time but I think they were glorified autocomplete. I’m pretty sure there was a version of Google pay that didn’t filling stuff on the website, but I think it gave your real card number in the background somehow. Maybe only directly to the bank so the merchant didn’t see it, but it was still your real number.
Apple is the first one I remember hearing of that used DPANs.

- MBCook 3y agoThey did but that’s a bit different as while it’s not your real card number it’s not a tokenized payment in the background. It’s still just a PAN and security code.
