UX is one major problem with Persona. I built a small site that used Persona a while back (without offering any other login choices) and most user can't figure out how to sign up.
Facebook login as a separate brand works because user already knows and uses Facebook. This is completely opposite in Persona case. User don't already have Persona "account" and they don't understands why should they sign up for it.
IMO, Persona should aim to replace classic login instead of social login, e.g. by making Persona nearly invisible to the user.
- yggdrasil 13y agoHeartily second the idea of Persona being re-rolled as classic login replacement, with emphasis on standardizing login best practices, such as password strength, password format disclosure, input naming that plays nicely with other password management systems, etc. The sheer amount of cruft and non-standardization involved with basic site login actively discourages user involvement. If Persona solved that unobtrusively, they would be adopted and evangelized all over the land.
