True. But, if persona has a large and active open source community, it might be better to use that than maintain homegrown solution in the hope of "security by obscurity".
There are some strong auth/auth open source communities - https://github.com/Jasig https://github.com/Jasig that serve millions of users.
- zobzu 11y agoit would be awesome if the community could really take persona up and fix it up / make it easy to run etc. i.e. i wish projects like this the best of luck and hope to be using them later :)
- Flimm 11y agoThe community will never be able to implement BrowserID in the browser without Mozilla's permission. This is the missing piece that would have made BrowserID awesome, without it, there's little point, you might as well use Google/Facebook/Twitter log-in.
- onli 11y agoI am not aware of anyone ever trying to implement it. There is not even a plugin from what I know. If someone would integrate the UI in a plugin, that works and people use it, I would be surprised if Mozilla would not accept a proper Patch to Firefox implementing that. The proposed UI was not blocking anything, not even taking space. Given Persona survives this.
