FAQ

Where can I find out more about Persona?

https://login.persona.org/about

What is ‘Custom login HTML for?’

Try putting the following into this option:

<img src="https://login.persona.org/i/persona_sign_in_red.png" />

Now you will see a red ‘Sign in with Persona’ button instead of the traditional CSS button.

Which server verifies the assertion?

The assertion is verified by the server at https://verifier.login.persona.org/verify.

I get ‘Login failed’

Only users that registered before can login. The e-mail address used for Mozilla Persona should match the e-mail address registered with.

I get ‘Verification failed’

Are you cheating?
