"Virtual" Credit Card Numbers for single use

Some providers used to offer a system where you could go online and be issued with a single use "virtual" number on your actual account so as to make an internet purchase without risking having your details copied and used for unauthorised transactions. I used to have a Cahoot card which I think offered the facility, but it's now long gone. Anyone aware of anyone offering such a facility currently?
Cheers
Terry

    I successfully used 3V one-time Visa vouchers, quite a few years ago now, a quick Google search reveals they are still in operation.

    Neteller (ewallet) does that, never heard of it elsewhere.
  • O2 wallet has this feature.

    Neteller now issues virtual cards that last 3 years rather than one month & have put restrictions on generation of multiple virtual cards

    Entropay is the next cheapest offering that I have found
