Apparently Microsoft is heavily considering using Bitcoin keys as a means of "decentralized identification" (for use in signing into your account and such); likely in a technologically similar fashion as when people sign messages using their Bitcoin address to 'prove' their identity.

Defiantly a novel concept, though I don't know how effective it would be. Remember, they'd still have access to their servers which would include the content of your account (emails and such); and losing your keys would mean you may lose access to your account. Still though, this seems interesting to see play out.
