They also mentioned adding Facebook account support, presumably in much the same way as the Google Account bridge works.
The person I was speaking to was concerned about what people might think of this.
So... what do you think?
My response was: one of the big reasons we used Persona was because it has a different ethos to other login providers (run by a non-profit, etc.)
And this is still true, as far as I understand it: Google or Facebook will know that you've used Persona, but not what sites you've logged into with it. So it is different than just using your Google Account or Facebook account to log in.
But I'm still concerned that it'll reduce the strength of being differentiated from those services. And I'm not sure I voiced that strongly enough.
Edit: apparently this might not be happening as most users don't know their @facebook.com email address, which is the one they'd need you to enter.
