Because it's Yet Another Pointless Single Signon.
I don't see the point compared to having separate logins so if one is compromised, others aren't. Even past that, that space is already hugely cluttered with OpenID, OAuth, Facebook, Gmail, Twitter...
Persona is a solution in search of a problem.
- petercooper 13y agoI hope I'm wrong but Firefox OS feels similarly to me so far.
- blueskin_ 13y agoFirefox OS seems like a joke, and I'm sure it only being on low-end Chinese phones reinforces that.
- mgreg 13y agoI disagree. Facebook connect, google+ sing on, sign on with Twitter, and username / password reuse all demonstrate the demand from 'normal' users for a SSO solution. There is also a distrust of these companies and the lock they have on your data so I believe there is room for an SSO solution that doesn't leak private info. Unfortunately for Persona a simple, fast, convenient user experience is not optional and that is where Persona has failed. I also believe getting to a great UX will be difficult or impossible with the decentralized system currently behind persona.
