!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}], was the predecessor to [Windows Live] ID, was originally positioned as a [Single Sign-On] service for all [web] commerce. 


[{$pagename}] had received much criticism. A prominent critic was [Kim Cameron], the author of [The Seven Laws Of Identity], who questioned [{$pagename}] in its violations of those laws. He has since become Microsoft's Chief Identity Architect and helped address those violations in the design of the [Windows Live] ID identity meta-system. As a consequence, [Windows Live] ID is not positioned as the [Single Sign-On] service for all web commerce, but as one choice of many among [|Social Identity Providers]

[{$pagename}] and [Windows Hello] together represented [Microsoft]’s [FIDO2] aligned end to end [Multi-Factor Authentication] solution. [Microsoft] [2016|Year 2016]-06-29 announced that [Windows Hello] will be their brand for [FIDO] aligned end to end multi-factor authentication solution. So, they are once again killing [{$pagename}] brand.
