Is there a short introduction as to how Persona deviates from the original decentralized OAuth approach? I'm a bit unclear why what didn't work for decentralized OAuth should work for Persona.
- icebraining 11y agoWhat was the decentralized OAuth approach? Are you referring to OpenID? If so, the difference is that Persona works with whatever email address/account the user already owns, just like plain email/password authentication; they don't have to figure out that they need to create an account in some "identity provider", which then gives them an URL to copy-paste into the site.
