Which pieces do you care about being self-hosted? If you use Persona on all your sites, it feels very much like SSO. I use the browserid plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/browserid/ ) on my personal Wordpress site. We actually ha

If you had a browser, say Opera, with native support for the BrowserID protocol, then you would not see login.persona.org. No requests would be made to a Mozilla server. login.persona.org is two things: 1) A JavaScript shim for cross platfo

Go to https://eyedee.me and create an DASD account Go to http://crossword.thetimes.co.uk/ - this is a non-Mozilla RP Enter DASD@eyedee.com - This is a Primary Identity provider, source at [1] So you see there is no BrowserID provider ch

This problem exists today. I can do "forgot my password" on many sites and owning your email account can change the passwords and log in to them. Persona doesn't attempt to solve this existing problem.

The low level protocol - BrowserID - is a federated system, so the "they" in your question can be someone you trust (and Mozilla isn't hardcoded) You can use any browser and if it has native support, it will do the client side crypto. It

The system is designed to allow your email provider or another Identity Provider that you trust, to store your password instead of Mozilla. Your identity provider just has to implement the BrowserID protocol https://developer.mozilla.org/e

From your link... "Gecko on top of it. The same version you'll find on a regular Firefox;" Maybe we're confusing web standards with rendering engines, but this is a product with only one rendering engine.

I can't speak to what will actually happen, but the intended meaning of that statement is simply... By putting gecko directly on top of a linux kernel, mobile operators can deliver great performance on lower hardware specs.

Very cool. You could also do: <script src="http://jquery.js/latest"></script> And keep / as an informative website.

There are two blockers: https://github.com/ozten/TLD.js/issues/23 https://github.com/ozten/TLD.js/issues/8 This isn't viable for submission as a Kickstarter w/o resolving those issues. As @jensnockert and @LaRakei have pointed out here.

(Disclaimers: I work for Mozilla) There is a huge difference between iOS and other platforms. Apple, in legal terms, makes Firefox on iOS impossible. This was not the case with Windows; Microsoft was using covert means to undermine user cho

The design of BrowserID is more aligned with real user behavior in the wild. An example is users remember an email instead of a URL. The API/Protocol for an implementing website is much easier, based on implementer feedback.

Right, this is caving cowpaths. Most sites have this flow, so if we can lift that up into the Browser and your Primary identity provider, than you can stop doing this on each new website you visit.

I wonder what percentage of people who have enough access to install a plugin into IE6, don't have enough access to install a new browser. To plenty of corporate machines... this will be an annoying piece of bling.
