Login with Mozilla Persona

Hi,

this is my first contribution to this workgroup, so excuse me if I start it wrongly :)

https://login.persona.org/about and http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/

Mozilla Persona is imho the SSO to support, which has a chance to succeed as a standard and decentralized open SSO where, in a way, OpenId failed.

Instead of connecting with gmail, yahoo, facebook, whatever, you simply connect with your email address.

As said the main developer: "Persona is an easy way to sign in that enables you to use your existing email account. It's an open technology on the path to standardization."

Mozilla Persona is awesome, and I'd love to see more platforms supporting it. :)

I think this is an obvious first choice for Loomio supporting SSO. OpenID second choice. Currently popular corporate-owned social media empires third, if at all.

Implement Persona before Google/Yahoo login Closed Tue 10 Sep 2013 11:01AM

For the reason given in a comment on the left (email from Dan Callahan), people having a google or yahoo account already have a persona account. (And for people not having a google or yahoo account, creating a new one is straightforward)

Compared to the login with google/facebook/yahoo, it has the advantage of preserving privacy, so I suggest implementation of persona first, as the userbase is already huge and the privacy-preserving feature is a clear advantage.
