Trying to make sense of this, after reading three times, but still
struggling a bit.
For the FTU experience, step 4, is that "normal" Persona
authentication + provisioning?
For applications where FxA is the only way to sign in: why is FxA
required for WheresMyFox and Marketplace? For WMF, I presume it's
because you need to access a cloud service to wipe/find your device,
but I don't really see the need for more than authentication. For
Marketplace, is it because we're syncing application ownership data?
Again, do we need more than authentication?
I guess what I really don't understand is what FxA provides beyond
secure storage. I thought FxA was email address + password (which is
being challenged, I think, which is a good thing in my book, in favor
of first time authn through Persona?) + key storage (stretched from
password) + sync content storage. It seems like it's now being used in
a much wider context ("Cloud Services"!), but it's very unclear to me
what it's actually providing in that context.
Cheers,
Dirkjan
