Implement BrowserID everywhere

[AntoineTurmel]

Persona (codenamed : BrowserID) is the one login system developed by Mozilla. It allow easily to connect to website using only one mail.

WordPress have an add-on, not sure yet for DokuWiki and MyBB.

[freaktechnik]

For MyBB we'll need to selfwrite :S duckDuckGoing didn't get anythign.

@Rudloff
Do you still want to develop a BrowserID for DokuWiki & MyBB ?

[Rudloff]

Yes, I am just busy right now, sorry. But I will be available in July.

[Rudloff]

Here is a BrowserID plugin for DokuWiki:

And here is a plugin for MyBB:

[AntoineTurmel]

@Rudloff wow nice :)
I don't have time yet to look, maybe this Sunday
does it allow registration of account as well (not just login) ?

And I think it could be rename to be Persona I guess

[Rudloff]

Only login.
I can add registration if you need it, but I don't find it very useful (you still need to fill in a registration form on the website in the end, as it does not provide more information than just the email).

The user interface as been renamed Persona but the API is still named BrowserID (for now).

[AntoineTurmel]

Registration reduce confusion when choosing a password... (the user could be confused if he should use the website password or persona password for non techies)

[Rudloff]

I think the user should always have a site password, it is not good to rely entirely on an external system.

[AntoineTurmel]

Yeah, good point, if the system is down...

[freaktechnik]

I think if anything, we should look to let users login with their forum account on the wiki instead of adding persona to all the services.

@freaktechnik I agree that a central login service for Nightingale would make more sense (I don't care if that central service is the forums, the wiki, featherweight (if it is ever continued) or some additional thing). Then we can still add X (Persona, OpenId, Two-Factor stuff, ...), and only have to do so on one central location.
