Online auctioneer eBay officially has notified customers that it will no longer allow them to log on through Microsoft's identity management service, Passport.
As previously reported, the move is the latest blow to Passport, which had originally been marketed as a single online storage place for Internet users' sensitive data. The authentication system has been scaled back to support only services from Microsoft and its close partners."
