<p>The Persona team approached the company I was working for, asking us to add Persona login alongside our other login options. Mozilla came to us because we had a huge web presence at the time (about the size of Wordpress, let's say). We discussed it internally and ultimately rejected their request. We were going through a re-org and just didn't have anyone to spare. We were also rewriting the component where the login would live, and this would have been out of scope.<p>Looking back, I now see that not volunteering myself for the challenge was one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my career. It was one of those rare opportunities to make a difference.<p>I also wonder why nobody has tried it since. It's a simple approach, but you'd need a good security team backed by a trusted organization to make an implementation credible.</p>
