The Benefits of Using .NET Passports

Using passports on your own site or for a personal account provides numerous benefits. .NET Passport is designed for both consumers and businesses alike, and some of its many benefits are as follows:

• .NET Passport provides convenient and quicker authentication service.

• SSI keeps users from having to remember different usernames and passwords for different sites they visit.

• .NET Passport allows users to easily connect to sites from various devices including, but not limited to, cell phones and Pocket PCs.

• .NET Passport allows businesses to easily recognize customers and personalize their experience.

• .NET Passport is versatile, allowing you to apply it to various access methods, including Active Directory and Web-based applications such as Outlook Web Access (OWA).

• Organizations requiring tighter security can use a secondary layer of security (such as a four-digit personal identification number, or PIN, to accompany a password). The PIN cannot be stored on the local computer or the organization hosting .NET Passport services.
