I'm not seeing how BrowserID differs from the standard email verification sign up. I went through the sign up process (enter email, click link in verification email, enter password, sign in with password). I also read Mozilla's 'really short version' explaining browserid (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Identity/VerifiedEmailProtocol https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Identity/VerifiedEmailProtocol) and will give the longer version a shot.
- skeptical 15y agoIt doesn't aim to solve that issue. It aims to solve the issue of maintaining multiple passwords on multiple sites.
- RandallBrown 15y agoI think you only have to do the email verification one time. After that, you'll be able to log in to any BrowserID site without entering anything.
- tricolon 15y agoIndeed; I believe it authenticates your browser (or perhaps only your browser session?) across all BrowserID-using sites, drastically cutting down on the number of times you'd have to type in a password.
- ozten 15y agoRight, this is caving cowpaths. Most sites have this flow, so if we can lift that up into the Browser and your Primary identity provider, than you can stop doing this on each new website you visit.
