Bill Gates: “End to passwords in sight”:
[Quote] The new operating system, due later this year, introduces a concept called InfoCards that gives users a better way to manage the plethora of Internet login names and passwords, as well as lets third parties help in the verification process. Vista will also make it easier to log on to PCs using something stronger than a password alone, such as a smart card.[..]
Microsoft has described InfoCard as a technology that gives users a single place to manage various authentication and payment information, in the same way a wallet holds multiple credit cards. [Quote]
Hey, look, MS Passport is back. ;)
Yes, I’m aware Passport is mentioned in the article, and that InfoCard is supposed to be totally different and superior, but I remember Win95 and the arguments for Win98, or Win98 and the arguments for WinME, or Win2k and the arguments for WinXP.
Just to name a few.
