I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won’t manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.

    How would expect them to do it? I can’t see how they wouldn’t link to you card if you expect to spend money. Moneys got to come from somewhere. Auth tokens are the safest way of doing that, prior to them upgrading to that it was done through ACH, which is not only slow, it’s much more dangerous for the user since they have actual checking acct info. Auth tokens don’t work that way, and even if there was a breach, your checking acct info isn’t there, only a token they can’t use. The way they’re doing it is the smartest way for both speed, and your acct safety.

      They link to one’s credit card in the premium plan. That’s what I would have wanted to see becoming universal in their services, but unfortunately that’s behind a paywall

        Gotcha, so you mean actual (credit) as a funding source vs debit? Can you link that? I didn’t see that in the comparison, I’d possibly consider that.

        I can do that now with Capital One, but having that all together would be nice. Kinda surprising, I’d think those habitual wrongful charge back types would wreck that for everybody.

          My apologies, I thought privacy.com supported credit cards, but apparently they don’t, even in the premium tier. Indeed, I would like virtual cards for my credit card, since I’m never going to buy anything with my debit card anyway. I wish the other banks had something like Capital One
