Mozilla Persona is a completely decentralized and secure authentication system for the web based on the open BrowserID protocol. To ensure that Persona works everywhere and for everyone, Mozilla currently operates a small suite of optional, centralized services related to Persona.
Why should you and your site use Persona?
- Persona completely eliminates site-specific passwords, freeing users and websites from the burden of creating, managing, and securely storing passwords.
- Persona is easy to use. With just two clicks a Persona user can sign into a new site like Voost or The Times Crossword, bypassing the friction associated with account creation.
- Persona is easy to implement. Developers can add Persona to a site in a single afternoon.
- Best of all, there's no lock-in. Developers get a verified email address for all of their users, and users can use any email address with Persona.
- Persona is built on the BrowserID protocol. Once popular browser vendors implement BrowserID, they will no longer need to rely on Mozilla to log in.
