The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Passport 2.1

SUMMARY

MSPVis is one of the five domain-authority cookies that you write to the .passport.com domain. The Login server uses MSPVis to compile the list of sites that you must disconnect from when you click any Microsoft .NET passport user interface (UI) Sign Out link. MSPVis is not encrypted. MSPVis is a persistent cookie only when you click Sign me in automatically on the .NET Passport Sign In dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

A persistent cookie is a cookie that writes to a text file on a browser client and persists across browser sessions.

Do not depend on the .NET Passport logoff process to clear any persistent cookies that you wrote.
