Persona was many things to many people -- arguably too many -- everyone from the old core team has a different idea of what features defined Persona. :) For me, it was the developer experience: trivial setup, email in/authentication out workflow, and no secrets to store in a database. Portier focuses narrowly on making that facet work well. Browser integration, identity aggregation, and privacy from users' own email providers are all non-goals for Portier: https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/master/Non-Goals.md https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/master/Non... That said, I'd love to ask what you found compelling about Persona's promise of browser integration. The privacy aspects? User experience? The finality of a standard successor to HTTP Basic / Digest authentication? Something else entirely?
