The login on the Persona site (https://login.persona.org/signin) doesn't seem to work for me, using my Yahoo account. It pops up the Window, I login to Yahoo, that little window goes away, then ... nothing else happens. If I click "verify" again, the little window pops up momentarily and then just goes away. Is it supposed to actually do something, or was that the whole demonstration?

I've filed a new bug for this: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3225 Could you please chime in with your browser, version and OS over there?

I contest that GNU Mailman, the Eclipse Foundation, Firebase, the Born This Way Foundation, and Discourse are hardly "minor, at best." Not to mention extensive dogfooding within Mozilla itself. Less flippantly, these things take time. While the initiative has been public for some time, it's only been in beta for roughly 6 months. It would be irresponsible for many organizations to jump on board this early, and taking…
Well, as both a developer and a user, I hope that Persona catches on. I certainly use it on all my new sites, and preach it whenever I can. It's definitely still early. Hopefully it will spread quickly. EDIT: Where's the Firebase signup? I only see a Github and a plain one.
Firebase added Persona support to their API for apps built on Firebase. It's not (yet) supported on their home page.

#184Any plans to build this into Firefox? I could definetely see this as some kind of account to sync our Firefox, better browser integration. IIRC Firefox had a plan for BrowserID something along these lines.
Yep! The Persona implementation of BrowserID is already built into FirefoxOS. It should come to Desktop Firefox later this year.

Our team has thought a lot about this. There are a bunch of angles to answer this from. Short answer (assuming native browser, native webmail provider): The malicious website would have to fake browser chrome and fake the user's webmail login flow. Long answers: Search through the mailing list and get involved! https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/mozilla.d...
What if I just want to collect emails and passwords, and with a free cert and a funky domain harvest (email, password)'s? I thought the whole point was to be password less? Second, I wanted to play a crossword puzzle. I click login and am greeted with a popup window, I put in my email, then it asks for a password (ok whatever). So now I have to go to my email, and it says that I click the link and can go play the puz…
Could you try going back to the crossword and trying to log in?
If that doesn't work, it sounds like you hit a bug -- could you file that at https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues, please?
The password stuff was because your email provider doesn't support Persona's protocol, so it fell back to asking Mozilla to validate your identity with a challenge email (and a password, so you don't have to use a challenge email when you come back next time).

#186I clicked on the first link, in the announcement of one of their adopters "The Eclipse Foundation" (actually their Orion project: https://orionhub.org/ ), to see what the sign in flow was like. I already had a Persona account from the early announcements but wanted to see it on a real site. The experience was bad. I signed in with Persona on Orion to be greeted with "There is no Orion account associated with your Per…
Thanks for beinging that up. The specific implementation at OrionHub is Not Ideal -- they should kickstart account creation when you sign in with Persona, like at https://voo.st or http://sloblog.io
I'll reach out to the folks over there and see if that can get that fixed in their next release.

#187Before they push Persona more, can someone walk over to the team that's running http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/ and either disconnect their servers or lock them to their chairs until they finish the migration? I understand the pain of rebranding assets, I do. But if you're going to rebrand to a product your company is already using, it has to be fast. And Mozilla, the 2 year anniversary is in July...
https://getpersonas.com is now dead.

The migration is actively underway! The site will be shut down in a time scale ordering on weeks.
Correction, getpersonas.com is now decommissioned!
