| Using passports on your own site or for a personal account provides numerous benefits. .NET Passport is designed for both consumers and businesses alike, and some of its many benefits are as follows: .NET Passport provides convenient and quicker authentication service. SSI keeps users from having to remember different usernames and passwords for different sites they visit. .NET Passport allows users to easily connect to sites from various devices including, but not limited to, cell phones and Pocket PCs. .NET Passport allows businesses to easily recognize customers and personalize their experience. .NET Passport is versatile, allowing you to apply it to various access methods, including Active Directory and Web-based applications such as Outlook Web Access (OWA). Organizations requiring tighter security can use a secondary layer of security (such as a four-digit personal identification number, or PIN, to accompany a password). The PIN cannot be stored on the local computer or the organization hosting .NET Passport services.
