The Liberty Alliance, a consortium of technology companies created to develop standards for allowing consumers to use one username and password to access multiple services online, announced new members on Tuesday and a desire to have rival Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O join the fold. But a manager at Microsoft, which has developed its own so-called "single sign-on" system called Passport, declined, promising to make it so the two efforts will be interoperable. "We do work with the Liberty Alliance," Brian Arbogast vice president of the .NET core services platform group at Microsoft said during a panel discussion at the RSA Conference.
