= Vision =
= Identity Projects =
 
Central to a people-centered ecosystem is an identity system that is under the control of the individual, and enables information sharing on the users own terms with no take-it-or-leave-it policies. To this end, Mozilla is building an identity system for the Web that has these properties.
 
The first service we're building, Persona, enables users to easily sign into websites using their existing email address in a secure and privacy-protecting way, with no additional passwords. For developers, it offers a very easy to implement API, and a verified email address they can use to communicate with the user.
 
User identities encompass much more than just an email address, of course, and so the next components of the Mozilla identity system will include payments, profile and data sharing on the users terms and more.
 
= Identity Design Principles =
 
draft 01 APR 2013
 
=== Account as relationship, not mechanism ===
We've used the metaphor of a lock and key for passwords. This is too cold and impersonal. It is an abstraction that serves the cold metal of hardware, but does nothing to help you build a relationship with the person. A more useful way to think about an account is that it allows a computer to identify this person, much like a doorman who can recognize a familiar face and recall their shared history to have a meaningful conversation.
 
== Hierarchy of Needs ==
These are presented in order from lowest to highest level of user needs. They start with basic and move to more complex.
 
=== Reliability ===
I want access to my information 100% of the time, wherever I am.
And don't blame me for unreliable service! The service should be percieved to be reliable.
 
*    Can access when and where needed.
*    Data is safe from unintentional loss.
*    In-browser password manager is allowed to function normally, not disabled.
 
=== Safety ===


At all points of centralization, the service should be resistant to attack. The service should be perceived as secure/protected.
For the latest status on identity-related projects, see the [[CloudServices]] page.


*    Passwords stored securely.
'''Department status reports''' were sent out on a bi-weekly cadence. Visit the '''[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Department_Status archive]''' for the status report history.
*    If I lose my device and attacker cannot remotely wipe another machine.
*    Information from one account cannot be used to hack another site


=== Proportionality ===
= Conference Presentations =


The approach you use should be appropriate to the threat.
An archive of all Persona-related talks can be found on [[Identity/Spread Persona]].


*    Password character requirements should be reasonable. Don't ask for 72chars, capital + number that rotates every 90 days unless you are a high-risk target.
= Subpages of {{FULLPAGENAME}}=
*    Keep user logged in for long sessions unless you are a high-risk target.
{{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}
 
=== Creating a supportive environment ===
 
Don't treat me as an intruder in my own house. Tone should be human and recognize that remembering credentials is a difficult thing to do. Be polite and forgiving of imperfect memory.
 
*    Error messages should have positive tone. Shaming language around forgetting password only create unnecessary stress.
*    After login it redirect  user to where there intended to go.
*    Remember my configurations.
*    Clear how to access self help documents and forums.
 
=== Be the user's trusted agent ===
 
Provide a safe and secure way to take your information around the web
 
*    Easy access to contacts, contents of your "wallet."
 
== Responsibilities of Relying Party sites ==
 
There are several issues which are directly related to accounts which are outside the scope of Persona. These are guidelines for relying party sites implementing Persona.
 
*    Site reflects whether the user is logged in or not.
*    Rules are clear when and why I need to log in or out
*    Usernames should only be used if you have public-facing content that needs to be anonymous.
*    Site has clear policies about who has access to and who owns user data.
*    Site employs ethical practices around what they do with user data and data portability.
*    Changes to terms and privacy policies are presented with clear language.
