All the way back in the early 2000s my bank offered a service where you could generate onetime card numbers with a specific dollar value tied to them. It disappeared around 2008. I wonder why?

My bank and Klarna had a brilliant sollution.
When you wanted to pay, you selected to pay with your internet bank, selected the bank, and got transfered to a bank login page, you logged on with your phone app or hardware token, and was taken straight to a page where you authorized that specific transaction, you authorized it with your phone app or hardware token and it was done!
No need to use card numbers, no need to register, it just worked.
Then Klarna killed it.
Other services still offer that, but they are few and far between
Can custom ROM user enjoy this?
If you have a Swedish personal number and get BankID installed you should be able to if the web store use a service that support it
