I would challenge that. You can not access that level of account detail from your device. You need to log into the website to get more than your email address (your name doesn't even show up unless it's part of your email address). To quote directly from the device: "To view or change your account settings or payment info, please sign into www.kobo.com and select My Account". Please explain how I could that with just a logged in device?

If you are concerned about someone buying books on your account, fair enough (personally I don't see it as being a significant risk), but please stop claiming security concerns that are not valid like access to your address, name etc.
