Mozilla bridges Gmail to Persona log-in
You can now use your Google account credentials with Mozilla Persona to log in to Web sites, but have no fear: Mozilla assures its users that Google can't track which sites you use with its service.
"Persona remains committed to privacy: Gmail users can sign into sites with Persona, but Google can't track which sites they sign into," wrote the company on its Identity at Mozilla blog, which tracks Persona development.
Mozilla added Gmail support to the log-in service on Thursday. The Google support in Persona joins support for Yahoo log-ins, as well as Persona's own log-in credentials. Looking for traction to compete with social network log-ins such as Google and Facebook's Connect, but desirous of remaining respectful of user privacy, Mozilla hopes that Persona will be a password killer.
