...and sadly BrowserID never took off.
- callahad 14y agoHuh? Our first beta release is scheduled for ~2 weeks from now, and the entire idea is barely a year old. We're still quite alive and well -- come join us on GitHub (mozilla/browserid) or IRC (irc.mozilla.org/identity)! :) Plus, Mozilla is dog-fooding Persona all over the place[1], so we're personally invested in getting this thing right and keeping it working. [1]: Bugzilla, MDN, Etherpad, Mozillians, Metrics, Popcorn, OpenBadges, Marketplace, Add-on Builder, Flicks, and Affiliates all use Persona, with more to come.
- rdl 14y agoI think you meant OpenID. BrowserID is new, and awesome. My fear is that a good universal login needs to support both Mobile Safari and Google Chrome on Android, and due to their childish fighting, it's unlikely anything client side can work on both, to the detriment of users and Internet security as a whole. Desktop browsers are a lot easier (extensions, and browser choice), but mobile/tablets makes this all a lot harder than it was a few years ago. :(
