Is this a 100% proprietary authentication protocol? I'd say something snarky, but I'm still bitter about Mozilla Persona.

  Mozilla Persona was on GitHub all along was it not? Not sure what the issue with that one was. https://github.com/mozilla/persona https://github.com/mozilla/persona

    > # Self-hosting Persona > This approach is not recommended most reliers. Persona has a large and complex codebase that has not seen significant development in several years, and Mozilla will not provide security or maintenance updates after 30th November 2016. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_Shutdown_Guidelines_for_Reliers https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_Shutdown_Guideline... Doesn't seem like a very good option for people today...

      I know today it is abandoned, but I'm wondering about when it was actively developed.

    It was a federated system. The idea was more or less that your email provider would host an instance of Persona, and if you were logged into webmail you could be logged in anywhere with a click or two. But nobody used it. No email providers, no websites. You could fall back to Mozilla's Persona instance to try it out, but the user experience was not amazing. It kinda fizzled out. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_AAR https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_AAR

  Yeah these closed-platform protocols can take a hike. Zero interest. Stop trying to build a business around the needless reinvention of the wheel.
