I have big hopes for Mozilla Persona, looking forward Python infrastructure support :). Hi, I'm the project lead on Persona signin, and I spoke at PyCon earlier this year regarding why and how Mozilla is building Persona. If you'd like some more background, that video [0] is worth a look. Let's pull this discussion up a level: It sounds like many people (Jesus, Donald, Toshio, Barry, Tres, Dirkjan, etc.) are interested in seeing Persona on Python.org properties, and most of the objections coming from a place of "Persona hasn't gone viral, what if this is wasted effort?"

OK, let's pull this discussion down a level: testing it out.

So I tried to login to the crossword.thetimes.co.uk -- I used an email address persona had never seen, it asked me for a password, and sent me a confirmation message, containing a link that I clicked on.

However, as I was reading clues and filling in blanks, I got a popup that said "login failure [object Object]". And crossword told me it was saving locally, and to login to save to the server. And the Log in button stayed displayed, rather than a Log out button, which I assume it might get replaced with if I ever get successfully logged in.

Firefox 23.0.1, Windows 7 64-bit with autoupdates. Need any other info? Write me privately if you want the email address I used (not the one I use here), or the password. I used new ones, so I can share for testing, and then discard them and use different ones "for real". If the system actually works. Hey, the video demos looked great...
