      That phobia is exactly why I’m still using that piece of crap like PayPal.

        Google Pay (or Apple Pay) are much more convenient and better, while keeping your CC number secret.

        That is, if your bank doesn’t have a feature of giving you one-time use CC numbers, most ‘neo banks’ or ‘fintechs’ do.

          Google Pay is great IRL, but not many webshops support it over paypal.

      I mean, when you give them a number on the phone, the guy at the other end is just going to be putting the number in the same place the website does.

      When you pay in-store with a credit card, probably same thing.

      EDIT: Well, unless, for the last case, one’s using a cryptographic-signature-based mechanism, like the smartcard chip or wireless authentication. But if it’s a magstrip or someone punching numbers in…
