  <p><a href="https://login.persona.org/">Mozilla Persona</a> is a cross-browser login system for the Web that's easy to use and easy to deploy. It works on <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/persona/Browser_compatibility">all major browsers</a>, and you can <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Persona/Quick_Setup">get started today</a>.</p>
  <p>Why should you use Persona on your website?</p>
  <ol>
   <li><strong>Persona completely eliminates site-specific passwords</strong>, freeing users and websites from the burden of creating, managing, and securely storing passwords.</li>
   <li><strong>Persona is easy to use.</strong> With just two clicks a Persona user can sign into a new site like <a href="https://voo.st">Voost</a>, bypassing the friction associated with account creation.</li>
   <li><strong>Persona is easy to implement</strong><strong>. </strong>Developers can add Persona to a site in a single afternoon.</li>
   <li><strong>There's no lock-in</strong>. Developers get a verified email address for all of their users, and users can use any email address with Persona.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Plus, Persona is only going to get better: it's built on an <strong>open, decentralized protocol</strong> that's designed to allow <strong>direct integration into browsers</strong> and <strong>native support by email providers</strong><strong>. </strong>Sites that implement Persona today will automatically experience those improvements, without having to change any code.</p>
