00:00:00,104 --> 00:00:06,837
Mozilla Persona is a new way to log in to websites with the singular goal of getting rid of the password.

2
00:00:06,837 --> 00:00:13,604
Our goal is a world where users can use websites with no new username to remember, and no new password to forget.

3
00:00:13,704 --> 00:00:16,493
This is not only good for users, but also websites, as it reduces sign-up friction and eliminates the need to securely store passwords.

4
00:00:22,673 --> 00:00:28,753
Today, we're announcing the Persona Beta 2 release. It brings a pile of iterative improvements and one killer feature.

5
00:00:28,753 --> 00:00:34,754
To quickly recap, Persona is an open authentication that works everywhere, on desktop and mobile

6
00:00:34,754 --> 00:00:40,536
It's developed by Mozilla, a non-profit with the goal of promoting openness and innovation on the Web.

7
00:00:40,536 --> 00:00:46,170
Persona is built on open standards and it's free to use at any scale. Persona is important

8
00:00:46,170 --> 00:00:52,935
because it makes login easier. Today, people are using more websites on more devices than ever before.

9
00:00:52,935 --> 00:01:02,003
Persona complements this trend by reducing the number of passwords users have, letting them type them less, which is especially important on mobile devices

10
00:01:02,003 --> 00:01:09,670
Persona Beta 2 brings a pile of improvements. We've integrated Persona into Firefox OS, Mozilla's new mobile operating system

11
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:15,415
landing in stores this summer. Persona works in more places - and now it loads twice as fast on your website

12
00:01:15,415 --> 00:01:18,870
but let's get to that killer feature.

13
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:26,468
With Beta 2, if you use Persona on your website, 100s of millions of users can log in using their existing email address and password.

14
00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:33,236
Users don't need to create a new account, they simply use what they already have, their web mail account.

15
00:01:33,236 --> 00:01:38,503
There's no new username to forget, and there's no new password to remember. Think about it -

16
00:01:38,503 --> 00:01:45,469
This gives you the fantastic convenience of social sign-in without all of the user confusion and fear.

17
00:01:45,469 --> 00:01:49,635
So let's get a feel for this: Here's a site I've never logged into before.

18
00:01:49,635 --> 00:01:56,838
First, I click the sign in button. Next I type in my Yahoo! email address

19
00:01:56,838 --> 00:02:02,771
and then on Yahoo.com I click "ok" and the rest is done.

20
00:02:02,771 --> 00:02:04,870
I just signed into your website

21
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:10,105
I've never been here before and the whole process took me ten seconds

22
00:02:10,105 --> 00:02:16,904
This feature is called Identity Bridging and to start we've enabled it for all yahoo.com email addresses

23
00:02:16,904 --> 00:02:21,240
In the coming months we'll bring support for other popular web mail providers,

24
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,135
which will bring this level of convenience to more than half of all Internet users worldwide.

25
00:02:27,135 --> 00:02:36,668
So, if you're an email provider and you want your users to have this seamless login experience, we urge you to step up and build support for Persona.

26
00:02:36,669 --> 00:02:36,669
And, if you have a website, now is the time to give your users a better, faster and safer sign-in experience.

27
00:02:37,098 --> 00:02:53,953
Put Persona on your site and let

28
00:02:53,953 --> 00:02:56,499
100s of millions of users sign in

29
00:02:56,545 --> 99:59:59,999
with just a few clicks
