Is this the fourth or fifth try of Mozilla to replace passwords? Surely it will work _this_ time… Edit: …which makes it totally sensible to invest time buildin

  I only hope that an intention of this project isn't to "smoothly" kill support for Persona. From a PR perspective this could look nicely: we kill the project that you depend on, but here is some quite inferior alternative that has zero maintenance cost for us.

    I don't believe that's at all the intention. However, I am quite interested in this approach, and will be watching Webmaker closely as they roll out a similar scheme. If it works, I'd likely be in favor of transitioning the Persona fallback from long-lived passwords to single-use email tokens. After discussion on the mailing list, of course. (FWIW, dochtman and I maintain Persona)
