I feel frequent data leaks, credit card number leaks, difficulty in un-subscribing or stopping payments after subscribing, etc... makes me appreciate and want to use consolidated sign in / subscription management / payment management options almost exclusively.

Yeah those services offering one-time or service/vendor specific CC #s for total management are probably going to have a bright and profitable future.

I have taken to using a single card in person, and a single card online. The Card on use online is also a Capital One account so I make use of their Eno service to make virtual cards for every vendor

If some company does not want to unsub me, I just turn off that virtual card.

Until the banks, and credit card companies just offer the services themselves for cheaper... Like Capital One and I think Discover are already doing
