This is an overview of the current Identity engineering roadmap. Information on this page is subject to frequent updates and changes.
FxA Service
The Firefox Accounts service is the core of Firefox Accounts. It is a HA deployment of an accounts database with a REST API. It handles all of the crytographic needs of attached services such as sync, and single sign on as required by FxOS. Read More

Q4 Milestone: production ready
Our goal for this quarter is to be ready to support live production traffic on the service. This is several months ahead of our first shipping clients which gives us time to include features and improvements as required to support other FxA efforts.
Target: December 2013
Sync.next
This is the project that will implement Firefox Accounts on Desktop and Android Firefox. The first firefox account backed feature will be an improved version of Sync. Rather than the complex setup and pairing UX of today, users will set up sync by creating or logging into their firefox account.

FxA on FxOS
This is the project of implementing Firefox Accounts on FirefoxOS. The first feature we will provide is SSO for Mozilla hosted services. Subsequent releases will optimize the UX of signing up for firefox accounts, and bring new services to the phone. You create an account once, and have access to a growing set of interesting services.

Milestone: SSO + FTE Integration release
This release is a handoff to wheresmyfox and marketplace teams to let them know what work will be required to support Firefox Accounts.
Target: TBD
- Integration with wheresmyfox Target: TBD [in progress]
- Integration with marketplace Target: TBD [in progress]
Milestone: FxA on FxOS 1.3 code complete
The goal of this release is to make it so that on the device by signing into WheresMyFox or Marketplace, you're signed into both. This is really SSO on the device. Further, the same account you create on FirefoxOS will be what you use to sign into your Desktop or Android Firefox. (Note that for legal reasons, sign-in to WMF may require positive user approval.)
We May include Account creation as part of the First Run Experience, this will depend on a usability assessment.
FxOS 1.3 FC date: December 9, 2013 [in progress]
- meta tracking bug
- System - FTE: Sign into Firefox on first run and in Settings (897600, 897604, 905637)
- System - FTE: Update tutorial screens to describe settings drawer (924626)
Milestone: FxA on FxOS 1.4 code complete
FxOS 1.4 FC date: Mar 3, 2014 [planning]
- Planning discussions have begun working closely with Adam Rogers
FxA on the Web
Firefox Accounts will work everywhere. It will be optimized for Firefox Browsers and Devices, but also should work for other browsers and platforms. This Project will provide a set of APIs for websites to implement that will allow them to support FxA everywhere.
There are two components to FxA support on the web. First is authentication to the service, second is the ability to access data stored inside a Firefox Account or attached service. We'll prioritize these in order.
Target: March 2014 [Details of FxA on the web are in progress]

Milestone: UX proposal - Authentication
Description & success criteria needed
Target: December 2013 [in progress]
Persona
Read the full plan on our mailing list.
In short, the current focus is to refine the browserid protocol and complete the specification. This work is required to support Firefox Accounts efforts which depends on the BrowserID Protocol.

Q4 Milestone: Complete Specification
This will include a simplified and revised specification, and all changes to the Persona service, our reference implementation of BrowserID.
Target: December 2013
