Google has its own proprietary sign in features across its offering. I think it's becoming more or less standard fare.

If you're talking about password syncing, Chrome uses the system's password store. Hopefully the Microsoft Passport the article refers to is just a password manager.

edit: unfortunately, no, it just appears to be another sign-in with company X: http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/17/making-w...

No. I'm talking about the Google user sign in features for Chrome and Android. Microsoft is adding a twist to its version, but in my mind they're pretty much the same.

The automatic sign in to Google if you're signed in to Google on Chrome?

This sounds more like an extension of the browser that either you use Edge or you can't sign in
