  • Need a way to handle verification email in case of content-server rollback
  • pb and st to discuss tomorrow, make a proposal to jrgm.
• Generate FlowID on server (pbooth)
  • Start asking rfk instead.
• Password strength-o-meter (sai, rfeeley)
  • rfeeley's awesome feature doc: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/blob/3d946b2a77b982d8ce1e6ca0fd9f53d0f9eb258f/features/FxA-97-password-strength/README.md
  • Temporary tunnel to mock-up: http://45cc2af7.ngrok.io
  • 3 stages so far: 
    • 1. Empty field --> "Choose a strong pwd...."
    • 2. User starts typing --> "8 chars min..."
    • 3. Field goes out of focus --> check bloomfilter match --> "Password is common...."
    • Should we revert to stage 1 if user deletes the password?
    • Do we allow people to cancel our warning? if so, we need to log that metric. - Shane: Intermediate step: let users use crappy passwords for now, log metrics.
    • Do we disable form unless user cancels warning? - See above.
    • Do we use `zxcvbn` to estimate pwd strength?
      • not unless it goes on a (crash) diet.
• Password length warning (vbudhram)
  • https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/pull/3739
• Robots meta-tag (stomlinson)
  • rfk has updated. Avoids all indexing.
  • https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/pull/3604
  • stomlinson asked rfk to make some updates.
• FAO jrgm, jbuck: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/pull/1259#issuecomment-220046487
  • auth server pr that uses memcached
  • is it okay to target the same memcached instances as the customs server does, or does it need separate instance?
  • (namespace is already different)
