Mozilla cutting support for Persona

[Development] Posted Mar 7, 2014 23:29 UTC (Fri) by corbet

Mozilla has announced that it is "transitioning Persona to community ownership" — or, in other words, dropping development support for this identity management project. "For a variety of reasons, Persona has received less adoption than we were hoping for by this point. However, we do still believe that Persona offers a unique and useful alternative to passwords, and we intend to support it as such. Reducing the scope of Persona and stabilizing its core APIs over the last quarter has shown us that adding more features was not the way forward." (LWN reported on Persona in March 2013).
