Using 1Password to manage 100 or more Virtual Credit Cards that are generated by CapitalOne
The Virtual Credit Card system in CapitalOne has been marvelous but relies on a Chrome Browser Extension (ENO) to function. It has two primary tasks: 1. To recognize that a Payment Window has opened in Chrome and then identifies the available Virtual Card for that merchant website. If one exists, it auto-copies the Credit Card Number, Expiration Date and CCV Number. 2. The Browser Extension also allows the user to request creation of a new Virtual Card if that vendor site has no existing Card on file, or the Card has expired.
The use of the Browser Extension will be disabled on Sept. 30, 2026. According to CapitalOne, there is now a capability to activate the Chrome Google Pay toolset to recognize the vendor website and link to CapitalOne to copy the Virtual Card information like described above. Unfortunately we all understand that the entire transaction, vendor information, client and purchase will be then available to Google. There are privacy settings that may protect the privacy of the person making the purchase, but can we actually trust Google once it has that information??
I’m looking to my most trusted service, 1Password and ask: If 1Password has the capability to work with “Privacy” virtual cards, can that be expanded to also work for applying CapitalOne Virtual Cards?
