How do purchases get authenticated on the wireless reader and the various other platform Kobo apps (iOS, Android, webOS, BB, etc)? If you leave the apps logged in then is it still a 1-click-purchase for books or do you require a password to handle the purchase?

I wouldn't want to leave my apps logged in if I let someone use my device temporarily and they mistakenly start purchasing books with my account. On my webOS phone this is handled by requiring a password to handle purchases through their App Catalog while free apps etc download without authenticating my account.
