Microsoft Passport Container is a Win32 service. It manages identity keys to authenticate users to identity providers as well as TPM virtual smart cards. It runs in a shared process of svchost.exe.
Background to TPM:
TPM or Trusted Platform Module was created by an industry consortium called Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and standardized by ISO and IEC in 2009.
Microsoft Passport provides two-factor authentication (often abbreviated 2FA) and also known as multifactor authentication. This adds an extra layer of security when you log in to an account , such as a mobile phone code/OTP, or some piece of information only the user knows.
