Passport los van de wallet..

.. aldus meldt Planet Multimedia. Betaalmogelijkeid (de Wallet) en identificatie/authenticatie (Passport) worden gescheiden verder ontwikkeld. De Automatiseringsgids pikt hetzelfde nieuws ook op, en benadrukt dat consumenten meer zeggenschap krijgen over wat opgeslagen wordt. Zie ook news.com.



News.com meldt:

People can start signing up for e-wallets Tuesday. Microsoft expects the first retailers to go live with the service in the next few weeks. Microsoft said it has signed up a number of retailers including Kmart, The Sports Authority, FogDog Sports, OfficeMax, RitzCamera.com, Blue Nile and Nordstrom.



Efforts to launch e-wallet services have been met with mixed success. Both AOL and Yahoo offer online wallets. Amazon.com's "one-click" service, which stores billing and shipping information on Amazon and some of its partners' sites, has the potential to be used as an e-wallet.
