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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19995848, 18 days agoEno used to be really good, but no matter how many times I've uninstalled and reinstalled it over the last year, it almost never works. The extension disregards my request to stay logged in, so every time I try to use it, I need to log in, and then the window just hangs forever on 'checking session.' Just to damage my own sanity, I've left windows open for 30+ minutes, and still, it never logs in. Kind of amazing, honestly.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18388044, 20 days agoTHIS ENO APP FROM CAPITAL ONE REQUIRES ME TO ALLOW THEM TO SEE EVERY WEBSITE I VISIT. I don't want to give that much of my personal data no matter what, and especially to give it to them for free.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14066746, a month agoIt works nearly everywhere I have used it, and the copy/paste works on sites where it doesn't work automatically. I moved to Capital One to get virtual cards, and I didn't know how easy it would be to use.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14739295, 8 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, 10 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, a year 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.
