edit: never mind, reading the thread it's clear that few here have any idea what Persona is or how it works.
- workhere-io 13y agoAs I've mentioned elsewhere on this page, there's a difference between what Persona is right now and what it will become later. Right now it is indeed centralized. Check out the integration documentation and you'll see how. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Persona/Quick_Setup https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Persona/Qui...
- drivebyacct2 13y agoNope, that's the Quickstart guide. It's possible to do it without using Mozilla's servers. Someone just a couple weeks ago posted a writeup on how they did it themselves.
- workhere-io 13y agoI would assume that most website owners will go with the integration method Mozilla currently recommends, and that method is centralized. For instance, the quickstart guide mentions https://login.persona.org/include.js https://login.persona.org/include.js: "You must include this on every page which uses navigator.id functions. Because Persona is still in development, you should not self-host the include.js file."
- drivebyacct2 13y agoOkay, but for anyone like us, we can self-host and just make sure it stays mirrored and up to date. The only other bit is doing the verification on your own server instead of trusting them. That's as big a deal as anything.
