Microsoft to Back Off on Passport -- 11:09 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Apparently Microsoft has finally come to the conclusion that its Passport scheme was something that no one wanted. So they are going to stop asking web sites to use it. I have done everything in my power to make sure that I never had a Passport account, despite some persuading by relatives. I don't trust Microsoft to secure the world's largest hunk of lead, to say nothing of my credit card information. Hopefully this will at least slow down their plans for world domination. Thanks Slashdot.
