The credit card numbers then sold to shady businesses who continued to hassle us for not pay up and then threaten with collection agencies. Having been there, we totally endorse the one-time use numbers. It takes longer to complete an online purchase but then again that may not be a bad thing. No impulse purchase there. Although one-time use is a bit of misnomer. The numbers can be used again and again with the same vendor but useless with a different vendor.

The software is Windows only, and if you're on a Mac, you're forced to deal with the alternative - a tiny flash pop-up window that keeps resizing itself when you login and generate a new card number.
