Is having Android Market online a good thing?

Now you can browse the Android Market on the web, buy, and then trigger the install of apps all from your browser using your google account. Technically if someone else compromised your password they could screw up your phone and buy apps you do not want. But those of us who use google for our stuff keep strong passwords on our account.

Use common sense folks; as more and more stuff moves to the cloud we must realize passwords are like money. Keep them safe and secure. Use a long complex password to protect your accounts and then change them often. This will go a long way to protect your Android market account and the rest of your google informatino also.

Do not blame Google for opening up the functionality of the Android platform, just keep your passwords good ones.
