Too expensive (Score 5, Interesting)

Passport has extremely high potential. I tried it out a while back... I went to Slate.com after signing up for a passport, and clicked the "Sign In" button. Now, I had never visited Slate, nor did they have any data on me prior to this. When I clicked "Sign In", that was it. I was registered. No filling out forms. No nothing. From a usability standpoint, Passport has tremendous potential.

With that said, the fees are absolutely horrendous. I checked it out - $1000/year for "small implementations", and $10000 for other. While I'm all for paying for a good solution, I can't see how having a single-sign-in solution on any website would generate $10000/year in profits.

I'm sure it would catch on like wildfire if they just lowered the fees to more manageble levels.

Oh, and buy paypal.
