  • Even I'm fine with Persona supporting a Facebook bridge.

    My concern with Facebook Connect is the requirements on the website that implements it to leak information to Facebook that provides them with even more data about the habits of users.

    But... Persona would act as an anonymising layer, Facebook would know that a given person logged into Persona, but wouldn't know whether Persona passed that authenticated set of credentials to www.iLoveKnitting.com or www.ImIntoKinkySex.com or www.iHaveNonMainstreamPoliticalViews.com .

    Given that Facebook would never know the end web-site involved, this is actually the only way that I would ever be happy about Facebook login.

    Effectively Persona becomes an anonymising but authenticated proxy layer. This really is the ultimate ideal.

    Does this apply to the Google bridge as well? How much do we trust Persona/Mozilla?

    There's still the fallback login, right? So I could use hippy@utfs.com or whatever?
