Abstract
This chapter covers one of the more controversial topics related to .NET—Passport. Passport is a single sign-in (SSI) service introduced by Microsoft with the intent of making a user’s Internet experience more friendly. In addition to providing one set of credentials that work across multiple sites, Passport stores basic user information such as a user’s name, address, e-mail address, and phone number.
