Popular password manager 1Password has announced a new integration with Privacy.com to help protect its users from financial fraud when shopping online.
As detailed in a new 1Password blog post, users can now create single-use virtual credit cards from within their browser, for use in online transactions.
When a new burner card is created, it is locked to a single retailer (e.g. Amazon, Etsy, AliExpress etc.), which means the scope for financial fraud is reduced dramatically if a cybercriminal were to get hold of the credentials. Shoppers can create an unlimited number of virtual cards, with the details of each saved within the password manager for easy access.
