Microsoft's Passport service has just lost one of the biggest e-commerce companies on the planet. eBay said in a statement on its site that from late January it will no longer support the ability for members to sign on using Passport.
This means that members currently using the service will have to sign in through eBay directly. "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," said eBay in the statement. "As part of this change, we will also discontinue sending eBay Notifications through Microsoft .Net alerts."
