Passport authentication relies on a centralized service provided by Microsoft. Passport authentication identifies a user with using his or her e-mail address and a password and a single Passport account can be used with many different Web sites. Passport authentication is primarily used for public Web sites with thousands of users.

Solution 1

Single log-on for all member sites by having a central authentication service like the .NET Passport Authentication service. Hence a user once registered will be able to use single log-in credentials at all the sites..

Passport authentication can be used when ever u are using a single username password combination to authenticate in to a group of website.

The simplest example that i can give is that of a google gmail account. with a single emailid password combination u are able to access youtube,gmail,google+,blogger and most of the google web appplications.
