| Mozilla ID (final name TBD) will be a Mozilla-operated service that provides a safe and simple to use ID system based on email addresses to Web developers and users.
| |
| | |
| Signing into sites is a common pain point on Web sites today, and this service will be one piece of a larger effort to fix that pain. What Mozilla ID does is allow users to easily sign into Web sites with just an email address, without any extra passwords.
| |
| | |
| We've made an effort to:
| |
| | |
| * Bring a 'single sign-on'-like experience to the Web. Users don't have to worry about how they signed into a site--even across browsers or devices.
| |
| * Provide hooks for browser integration, for maximum convenience and protection from phishing attacks.
| |
| * Make sure the system works on current-generation browsers, no special add-ons required.
| |
| * Provide on-ramps towards a fully decentralized system (with the browser as ID mediator).
| |
| * Protect user privacy while at the same time facilitating an exchange of profile data with sites.
