Microsoft Plans to Open Passport Service to Rivals-WSJ | |
|
||
| Time: 07:59 EST/12:59 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft Corp MSFT.O is modifying plans for its Passport service, inviting rivals and other companies to create a common way to use a single user name and password at sites across the Internet, the Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition on Thursday. The software company's plan was designed to meet potential objections from users and partners, some of whom have raised privacy concerns about Microsoft or any other organization creating one vast repository of customer information, the report said. Passport, a critical part of Microsoft's Internet strategy, was developed to allow users to be able to log on just once and get access to multiple Microsoft Web sites and those of other companies that sign up for its service. It already claims some 165 million separate accounts, and more are expected to be created as the new Windows XP operating system prompts users to sign up, the article said. | ||
