Not old news
by David Arbogast January 20, 2005 6:31 AM PST: This is not old news. This was previously reported as something Ebay "was going to do." Yesterday, they sent the official notification to registered users. Yesterday's notification is the event actually taking place, and is considered news. Something that actually happened.; Like this Reply to this comment

what did microsoft change that prompted ebay to stop supporting Passport?

Probably Nothing...

EBay claims streamlining and simplification... their financial report shows lower than expected earnings. I imagine that not supporting Passport in addition to their own authentication would reduce some expenditure.... and remove a redundant authentication scheme. Besides... Passport isn't really catching on in a big way.; Like this
