by Firefox user 15094608, 7 years agoDoesn't work: "Something went wrong" in both the add-on popup, and their setup page (capitalone.com/applications/eno/virtualnumbers/setup). Tried 5 times to sign in, with my username/password copied from the clipboard to make sure I didn't mistype anything. Also tried the Chrome extension - same failure.
GIVE ME A USEFUL ERROR! Not "Something went wrong". This is Error Management 101.
An it's not a "third party cookies problem". I made sure Firefox didn't block anything, and setup didn't work from CapitalOne's own setup page (no 3rd party situation there). This add-on is just broken.
Also, add-ons like these, that require permissions to READ AND CHANGE ALL THE DATA ON WEBSITES YOU VISIT, are a security nightmare. I worked at Google, and I can tell you there are easy ways to make extensions *request permissions on demand*, in a site-specific manner, instead of asking for that blank permission upfront, which most hapless users will automatically grant.
If this extension gets compromised (as quite a few others have), you're screwed. It will be able to read your bank/credit card/online Bitcoin wallet/ANY OTHER PASSWORD and data.
And it doesn't even work.
Uninstalled.
If you're looking for a simple and reliable alternative, sign up for Privacy.com. No spying extension to install - just generate card numbers from their website.
Advice for Capital One: you may think you're making it more convenient for customers to provide an add-on instead of a simple page to generate virtual CC #s from your own website (like Privacy.com does). Well, you're not. The more complicated a solution is, the higher the likelihood for it to fail.
If you really want to offer virtual card numbers for your customers, please do so in a simple, honest, transparent way - like Privacy.com. You have the advantage of the brand, cashback etc.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14739295, 7 months agoWhen Eno works, it's great. Eno doesn't work on every website, e.g. Home Depot. In these cases, you can generate a virtual number on the Cap One website then paste it in to the merchant site.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15119382, 9 months agoWorks most of the time. Very handy to generate CC and I can shut them off too which has saved me numerous times from unscrupulous vendors
- Rated 5 out of 5by iceui2, 9 months agothis is not perfect by any means, but no other credit card provider offers this service of being able to use a new virtual card for each merchant. So I'm giving this 5 stars.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Michael Sheldon, a year agoUsed to work, gradually became less and less reliable. works almost never now. Frequently stalls on login, retrieving card, etc. Will offer up a card for certain sites, then reject the transaction for being the wrong site. Finally just uninstalled it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Recolic Keghart, a year agoSimply doesn't work. Stuck at " I'm checking on your number now "
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19101397, a year agoDoes not work. Asks for my phone number then spams the console with unhandled exceptions while it loads indefinitely

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19016345, a year agoThis app is janky, and considering how much $$$ CapitalOne has at it's disposal, there no good excuse. It freezes up with every use. You need to keep signing into your Capital One account. And it doesn't auto-populate the newly created card into the online shop. You need to copy and paste it all manually from the CapitalOne website. It has not been updated for A WHOLE YEAR, so who knows if it's secure.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Luke, a year agoNever loads when you need it to. Just sits there saying it's trying to log in or trying to create a card. All I want to do is check out quickly, but I have to close firefox and reload everything in Chrome instead.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18024006, a year agoThis would be great if it worked more consistently. But I have to delete the Capital One cookies and restart my browser before using it all the time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Aidan Boyer, a year agoDidn't work - can't make it past the mobile number verification step to log in.
