Whilst I see the privacy argument against Passport, I found that it was a usage issue, rather than one of confidentiality, that gave me a problem.

Consider you wish to access your own MSN or Hotmail account at work (with your employers blessing !). But then, you need to access another MS service at the same time on behalf of your employer, and not yourself. It doesn't work.

In addition, Passports are supposed to be "personal". Just for you. But at my place of employment, because we process software licences for customers, we needed an "office" passport - with everyone knowing the password of course. So much for security - but the only way it could be done.

I'm not sorry to see passport, in it's current incarnation, fade away. But I do long for the day I can press my finger onto a pad and be asked "business or pleasure".
