Eno® from Capital One® by Capital One
Review by psychomuse
Rated 1 out of 5
by psychomuse, 5 years agoUpdate: Let me just start with my latest review of this extension- it's mostly broken. Not sure if it's simply related to FIrefox updates, but this extension rarely works these days. It's much more trouble than it's worth. I can no longer recommend its use.
Sadly, there is no other way (that I know of) to generate virtual card numbers without using the extension. So, that means the virtual cards feature is generally not available now.
It's disturbing that a company like Capital One would allow one of their financial products/services to be so unreliable.
Old review:
As usual, reviews are all love or hate (1 star or 5 star). Such absolutism (all-or-nothing think) is rarely useful to anyone. So, first, throw out all of the 1's and 5's and dig deeper into the reviews that have actual thoughtful analysis of the product.
In this particular experience, the Capital One add-on, Eno, is wonderfully useful... when it works. For me, a frequent online shopper, it provides two things I value highly: convenience and security. I love having it available at shopping sites, with all the info I need to complete the purchase. I don't have to look up my card info and manually fill it in. Very nice.
Sadly, some updates to Firefox and a few sites' code break the add-on. But I've found this to be true of many of the add-ons I use. Anytime an app or an operating system pushes out an update, it's not uncommon for software that interacts with it to break or have issues. So, this is not a particular sin of this add-on. It applies to many add-ons.
Most importantly, I love Eno and the feature from Capital One to use a virtual number. The add-on just makes it easier to use. One can still interact with the Capital One website to manage their virtual numbers. Due, once again to occasional breaks from browser updates or particular sites, I have had to get creative when using the feature. This can be frustrating.
It's not perfect, but overall, it works more than it doesn't, and the ability to generate a one-time use number is invaluable when it comes to online security. Keep in mind, the virtual number feature is very flexible. You can keep using the number for that particular site, but lock it, so it's only usable when you allow it, you can just delete it, or leave it unlocked for one particular merchant only (e.g. for a subscription).
If you're not using a virtual number, you are asking to be hacked. Get this add-on, take a deep breath when it breaks from time to time, and feel a whole lot better when you use your credit card online.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14739295, 6 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, 9 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, 9 months 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, 10 months 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, 10 months agoSimply doesn't work. Stuck at " I'm checking on your number now "
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19101397, 10 months 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.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18024006, a year agoThis would be great if it worked more consistently. But I have to delete the Capital One cookies and restart my browser before using it all the time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Aidan Boyer, a year agoDidn't work - can't make it past the mobile number verification step to log in.
