Does anyone know of a similar project that I can use as a replacement to Persona? I was very pleased to be able to stop storing passwords and running an auth system and outsource it to a trusted third party whose motivations I trust. Can anything fill Persona's shoes?

For the moment Passwordless (http://passwordless.net http://passwordless.net) seems like the next closest option in terms of not storing password systems and keep auth work minimal. It doesn't have the "single sign on" benefits of cross-domain authorization that Persona could have provided and it does still require you to run your own SMTP or SMS connections (as opposed to relying on login.persona.org for that). It certainly sounds like people are considering alternative providers to login.persona.org if you wanted to keep using Persona/BrowserID, but I'm not sure how well received any of them might be without a good branding stance like Mozilla Persona mostly [1] had. [1] Arguably it is a failed brand at this point with almost no consumer recognition, but still better than no brand.
