I doubt Amazon would be stupid enough to leave this possibility unaccounted for. Even the most basic purchase on Amazon requires you to put in a password to confirm your purchase. Why would this be any different?
Or are you simply being a model HN contributor and nitpicking any little thing that comes to mind?
- babesh 13y agoAmazon has had one click purchase for years on the web: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Click. The whole point is to not require re entering a password each time. In fact they hold the patent for it and have sued others for it. You have attacked me for misinformation whereas you are the one misinformed. EDIT: I am a Amazon Prime user and turned off one click because I saw my son clicking on stuff he wanted. And there is confirmation email. You basically have to rollback the purchase if you can. Sometimes you can't if it's shipped.
- r00fus 13y agoNo, the Kindle Fire on release didn't lock out random purchases - in fact no password required for any app purchase. So there is precedent from Amazon, though they've probably learned. Where do you see a keypad for this device? How will you enter a password?
