Going to attempt to provide some clarity, much more of which should be evident when you guys are hacking next week, but here goes: #1 Persona is not an account system. There's no such thing as a "Persona account" in the conventional sense, that's not how it works. (this is weird to grok, I know) #2 FxA is the account system we're building for Mozilla products. #3 What I've found helps my brain is to stop using the word "Persona" when talking about FxA. FxA is built with BrowserID protocols, certificate formats, etc. But we are not, __for the MVP__, trying to tackle integration with the "Persona identity ecosystem". In concrete terms this means you will not be able to login to a generic Persona-enabled website with your Firefox Account for the MVP. You also will not be able to go "the other direction" and use an existing Persona assertion to login to your Firefox Account. This is off the table for v1. A possible "pitch" for FxA (where "you" == the end user): Firefox Accounts is a system that allows you to connect with Mozilla (and eventually non-Mozilla) services. Firefox Accounts works across your entire Firefox experience, so you can attach any of your devices (laptop, desktop, phone or tablet) to your account. By keeping track of your services and your devices, Firefox Accounts allow you to use services and access data when you need to from wherever you are. Make a backup of your bookmarks from your tablet. Sync your passwords across all devices. Send interesting pages to a service so you can read them later, such as on the train on your way home from work. Does this provide any clarity? Let me know. We clearly need to get this clear and straight asap. I now have an action to create a Firefox Accounts FAQ! -Mark > > _______________________________________________ > Sync-dev mailing list > Sync-dev@mozilla.org > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev >
