eBay nixing Microsoft's Passport
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft has lost another partner to market its single sign-on services after auction giant eBay said it will no longer support Passport and its .NET alerts. In a notice released late Wednesday, eBay said members will have to sign in through eBay directly starting in late January.
"Once this takes place, the Microsoft Passport button that is currently displayed on Sign In pages will be replaced with links to a page with more information, including Help in case you cannot remember your User ID or password," the notice said.
