Fixing Those Old Passport Blues

Over the past year or so, I've started having to use Microsoft's Passport to get access to various web sites. Like many users, Passport is far from trouble free for me. The solution offered is usually to delete all your cookies. Now we all knew that while it works, it's really a pretty drastic step - assuming you use cookies! And I do

At last someone at MS has worked out the underlying problem and a sensible KB article has emerged http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274776. This KB is aimed at Money, but the passport is the same no matter which site you use (and so is the fix)! A decent solution at last. Horray!!
