Google’s annual developer conference kicked off on Wednesday with several announcements. One includes a handful of new products and services — that Google is either rolling out or will be rolling out in the future — to help improve users’ security and to protect their privacy. The company recapped the announcements via a blog post by Jen Fitzpatrick<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Google’s announcements tackle several different aspects of your privacy and security. For example, Google is working on a new virtual card tool that can be used across Android devices and in the Chrome browser on Mac or PC. It’s separate from Google Pay, and once a card is added to the service, a virtual card number will be given to the vendor whenever you purchase something online. <\/p>\n

Also: <\/strong>What are virtual credit card numbers and how do they work?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In the event of a data breach, the virtual card number can be replaced, and you won’t have to deal with replacing your physical card. Apple has the same type of feature for the Apple Card. Google’s virtual cards are expected to launch this summer. <\/p>\n
