Mozilla releases website General logon system Persona

Over the past year, Mozilla has been developing a pilot email address-based network login code called "BrowserID". The product name Persona was officially released several months ago. This system saves the trouble of entering passwords on websites and replaces passwords on different websites. Users only need to log on to Persona once to log on to all websites that support this system.

Mozilla also revealed in its official blog that this version is the first version of many Beta versions and plans to add content in the future. At the same time, Mozilla is calling for more websites to add Persona to their own websites.

In addition to several giants, some third-party login systems, such as OneID, have also appeared on the market. Mozilla, one of the pioneers of browsers and one of the ultimate players in user name and password, has been developing a login system in recent years. They hope this login system can eliminate the user name and password, it becomes the universal ID of a netizen. Today, they officially announced in Mozilla's official blog that the universal logon ID PersonaBeta is available. Developers can use the Persona API to embed the logon button in their websites. As long as users have their own Persona accounts, they can log on to the website. This is the same as Facebook Connect.

Persona is easier to use than OpenID and OAuth. This login can be done almost easily in the client's Javascript.

On April 9, September 27, Mozilla announced that it had removed the project's "experimental" tag and announced the release of its first Persona Beta version. Mozilla emphasizes the following in its official blog and Website:

Persona can now be used for identity authentication: it can be used in all mainstream mobile phones, tablets and desktop browsers, and the user experience has been comprehensively improved;

• With Persona, the user's email address is his/her personal identity. You can use multiple email addresses, but only one password is required;

• Persona does not track users' behaviors on the network. Persona is only a bridge between the two ends of the user logon process. After a user logs on, his or her Webpage Browsing records will only be kept on his or her computer;

• Persona can coexist perfectly with the existing login system, allowing website developers to spend a little time integrating them. Because Persona logon is based on the email address, the website can still retain its direct relationship with the user;

• For Persona, Mozilla promises that the core APIs of the project and their components are highly available and stable.

I believe that it is not a big problem to do this product well with Mozilla's strength, but my question is: webmasters may allow Facebook Connect and so on because Facebook has a large number of users, one can bring user resources, and the other can tell webmasters that you must have a Facebook account. But Molilla is totally different. They almost have to start from scratch, and the system is very attractive to webmasters. Development is easy to be an advantage, but it does not significantly improve the user experience, and it is useless to please developers.
