Passport Authentication
Microsoft Passport simplifies consumers' online experience by
allowing them to create a single "wallet," member name, and
password to use across participating Passport Web sites and
services. The suite of Passport e-commerce services makes using the
Web (especially online shopping) easier, faster, and more secure
for your customers. By implementing Passport on your site, you
can:
- Increase traffic by simplifying the sign-in and
registration process.
- Improve customer retention by delivering personalized
content based on core Passport profile data.
- Increase your sales by simplifying the purchase
process.
- Offer easy, more secure sign-in and purchasing to
millions of Passport members.
