That concern applies also (albeit the abuse potential is somewhat
smaller) if Google Checkout stores the data in their account, their
phone is authenticated to your Google account, and one wonders if these
credentials are stored on the phone too. (Basically, does the phone
keep the password somewhere, or does it keep some intermediate shared
secret that was derived from the password with help of the servers?)
