In December 15, Mozilla Labs released its Browser ID project Official Website: https://browserid.org/, it is understood that the project has completed the first stage of the design and development work.
Browser ID, as its name implies, is the Browser ID. It provides users with a secure, open-source, cross-browser platform third-party login method using email accounts. Here, we summarize the two benefits that Browser ID brings to users:
Say goodbye to multiple accounts and passwords, and you can do everything with one account.
Now we have a user name and password on Weibo, a user name and password on a shopping website, and a user name and password on the mailbox, generally, it is not surprising that Internet users have ten different combinations of user names and passwords. You may have forgotten your password and username. The Browser ID launched by Mozilla can help you solve this problem.
You only need to select a mailbox to register your own browser ID account. With this account, you can log on to all websites that allow the use of Browser ID. After logging on, you only need to select the email address you want to register your Browser ID to log on to the website without entering the password.
Prevents browsing behavior and data leakage and protects user privacy
In addition, Browser ID helps users protect their Internet security and privacy because it does not record users' Internet behavior. In addition, because users no longer need to register and log on to different websites or applications separately, this means that users do not have to worry about their browsing behavior and data being obtained and sold by these service providers, this greatly avoids the leakage of user data.
In the rapidly developing Internet life, it has become very important to have a secure, reliable, and controllable identity authentication so that users can share their information with confidence. Mozilla has been focusing on users and is committed to granting control to users so that users are not controlled by some service providers. Based on this original intention, Mozilla designed and developed the Browser ID, which is independent of the service provider and provides users with third-party login methods, so that users can control their identities and information.
Browser ID is developed based on HTML5 and JavaScript, so it can run on all mainstream browsers. In addition, Mozilla provides a detailed solution for website administrators and developers to use Browser ID on the website:
