Eno® from Capital One® by Capital One
Review by TandE
Rated 4 out of 5
by TandE, 3 years agoAfter reading the most recent reviews, I almost didn't install the extension. However, I figured, if I install it and it doesn't work, I'll just remove it. But, if I give it a try and it does work, I've gained a tool that will fit my needs.
I'm happy to say that I installed the extension and it does in fact work. I'm running Firefox 93.0 (64 bit) on a desktop computer that's only a year old with Windows 10 Home for an OS. I downloaded Eno ver. 3.6.1
I will admit, I can see why some may have had difficulties in using the extension. It seems to have an issue with signing in to a Capital One account directly from the Eno extension. However, here's what I found to work for me. I log in to my Capital One account first through the Capital One home page (as I would if I was going to check account transactions for example.) Once I'm signed in, I then click on the Eno extension icon in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox browser. Eno will usually recognize my account at that point. From there, I go to the merchant of choice, navigate to where I would enter my credit card info, click on the Eno icon if it's not already open, then click "Use". Eno guides me through creating a new virtual number like it's supposed to. No issues.
If my Captial One account times out on it's own, Eno is also logged out of my account. This is by design and keeps my account secure. However, attempting to log back in to Eno can be finicky. Here's 2 work-arounds that consistently work for me. Right-click on the Eno icon and select "Manage Extension." Disable Eno by clicking on the little toggle switch. Then re-enable. If that doesn't work, disable Eno again and close the browser. Now re-open browser. Log in to your Capital One account next before enabling Eno. After you're logged in, enable Eno from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox (if the Add-ons Manager tab is not already open, click on the "More" button which is 3 horizontal lines in the upper right corner, then click on "Add-ons and themes").
To reiterate, I have found these 3 basic procedures to be very helpful:
1. Sign in to your Capital One account first before attempting to use Eno.
2. Know how to disable and re-enable Eno. Use as needed.
3. Close browser and then re-start browser as needed.
I also noted that some reviewers expressed difficulty with the Eno extension slowing down internet browsing. I have not experienced that yet. However, disabling the extension can be done easily when it's not needed to speed things up if necessary.
I feel that this extension is worthwhile to try downloading and using. The extension is pretty intuitive. The settings are simple and clear. The extension will walk you through the process of creating a virtual card number in just a couple steps. Eno even automatically adds the card number in the appropriate field on some sites. If it doesn't add it automatically, just left-click the copy icon next to the virtual number and then right-click in the card number field on the merchant site and click "paste."
Another nice feature is that when you create a virtual card number, you can set a time limit on how long that number will be active.
I'm quite happy I took the leap and gave it a try. I don't always like to try new things as there's a learning curve and I often don't feel I have the time. However, dealing with a fraudulent charge on a credit card also takes time (this happened to me recently.) Since the virtual card feature has the potential to protect my main account and physical card number, the little bit of time it takes to use Eno is worth the time it saves in the long run.

- Rated 4 out of 5by jh, 23 days agoEno takes a lot of the anxiety out of providing credit information to online sales sites. It works on many sites but definitely not all. Sometimes it will not recognize the form fields. Also some websites seem to detect the extension and reject the Eno card number forcing the user back to the underlying card number. Overall it is a very good and handy extension that I use to increase security whenever it is available.
- Rated 5 out of 5by matt, a month agoThe extension itself is sometimes a little buggy, it'll get stuck and never get you a card, but it works 90% of the time and the other 10% I'll just log into the capital one website and do it myself

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18787261, a month agoIt's great to be able to create a virtual card specific to a merchant and set a purchase limit date so they can't bill beyond the purchase date.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Yonco, a month agoWorks great but I'd love it even more if they also add the choice of max $$ to be paid on each virtual card!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18774542, 2 months agoOverall I am very happy with this and use it extensively. it works well.
Sometimes I have trouble getting it to open. It makes me log in every time -- even if I just used it a few minutes before. But overall I find it very useful and pretty seemless. - Rated 5 out of 5by SpareSimian, 2 months agoWorks fine with most websites. But didn't when I tried to renew my AAA membership. Probably misconfiguration between AAA and Chase that does their payment processing, resulting in the virtual card getting rejected.
- Rated 3 out of 5by RDP73667, 2 months agoIt's fantastic when it is working. Unfortunately, 50% of the time the app 'spins' when attempting to log into the account. When that happens, the app only displays a message that it is logging into account, but it never does.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Reyes, 2 months agoMakes it easy to use virtual cards so I don't expose my real card number to different vendors. Love this feature!

- Rated 4 out of 5by jmyii, 2 months agoWhen it works, it's easy and I feel secure about credit card transactions on less mainstream web sites. It's sometimes cranky to sign in (I don't leave it signed in) and occasionally I have to give up on it. Seems to work more reliably recently (maybe because I'm on a newer laptop). Worth trying.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16307874, 2 months agoThis ENO apps allows me to not give my real card number out thus reducing exposure to fraud. Has worked well for several years.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18261738, 3 months agoI've rarely had technical problems with the extension itself. Sometimes the auto-paste doesn't work because of the web page's cart design, but it's easy enough to copy and paste. I only gave it a 4 star because I don't like having any extension collecting data about every site I visit. What I do is I disable the extension any time I'm not actually making a purchase, and that works just fine.
