Users won't get that. Hell I'm a layman (security wise) and I don't get that.
I do get a shiny icon that says sign-in and it pops a window that says I should login with given info.
EDIT: Thanks for downvotes, but I'm trying to demonstrate that those that use authentication won't really understand or value the complex background/guarantees of Persona.
- scrollaway 13y agoI didn't downvote you. I can't even downvote you. But users aren't meant to "get" that - developers are. The protocol does it right... it's up to marketing to sell it to the devs, and up to UX to sell it to the users.
- Ygg2 13y agoNo worries, I was speaking towards those that did downvote me. And that is kind the crux of the issue, this protocol was a no sell to users and it didn't offer any incentive to the developer. To paraphrase your previous statement, it wasn't chicken and an egg. It was an chicken and an egg versus a goose and a golden egg. People would pay for information/services (I think it gives you your friend graph + poking your friends) that FB connect allows you to have for free. Its users are 'taught' because developers made those logins ubiquitous, because more info on the customers. Or tighter integrations with services like Github. Or easier login experience (like StackExchange).
