Passport authentication identifies users via Microsoft Passport's single sign-on service.
Microsoft Passport is meant to provide Internet users with a single identity that they can use to visit a wide variety of Web sites that require authentication.
Information about the user is available to your application through a profile that is stored with Microsoft.
The advantages of Passport authentication are that the user doesn't have to remember separate user names and passwords for various Web sites and that the user can maintain his or her profile information in a single location. Passport authentication also provides access to other Microsoft services, such as Passport Express Purchase.
