I just purchased an app on my Revue and there was never a prompt for a password.  Is that expected behavior or is there an issue to report to the bug database.

Richard,

That's the expected behavior. Market will pick up the account which you've given during initial Google TV setup and won't ask for password again.

Thanks!

So, anyone with my remote can just go buy stuff from the market. Seems weak on security.   Free Apps, I could see.

I just got the update on my Google TV as well. However, i haven't checked the Market's settings screen yet.
On phones, the Market has a setting called 'Use PIN for purchases'. Maybe the Market on Google TV has this setting as well...
