This reminds me quite vividly of Stack Overflow's login page. I can never remember if I signed up direct, with OpenID, or Google, or whatever else is there.
I've been starting to dig Mozilla and Firefox again lately (the last week of developer tools news cemented that), so I'd love to see their idea take off and gain full adoption.
- callahad 14y agoThanks! You can help it take off: try Persona out and let me know about your experience. Persona can't be the right solution without outside voices to help shape it. Of course, if you think Mozilla is on the right track, ask a site you use to support Persona. :)
- larsberg 14y agoI rely on LastPass for confusing sites like that one. If it weren't for that addon, I'd never know, for example, which of the 7 or so Windows Live accounts that have been generated on my behalf is The Right One for which website.
- nonamegiven 14y agoI merely bought and installed an xbox 360, and now I have a small number of windows live or hotmail or xbox accounts, I haven no idea which are distinct accounts and which are linked in some way. Ptthht, ptthht. Trying to cancel the auto re-up of their gold account was a nightmare of circular hate. Ptthht.
- archagon 14y agoI usually hate social logins, but I actually like the way SO does it because you can bind your account to multiple services. Now I no longer have to remember which specific one I picked.
- tracker1 14y agoDitto.. I also really appreciate it when you are writing a comment for a blog you crossed in a search. Never been to X site before, likely won't be back.. but like to comment when an article's content is dated, or no longer relevant. Sometimes that gets harder than others.
