Mozilla Persona Authentication

Question

What are the advantages of using Persona if I want to restrict email adresses for accessing a site ? I have to manage in a same way the authorized email address on my server? What am missing ?

Answer 1

The two main advantages of using Persona on your site is that:

1. You don't have to store passwords in your database.
2. Your users don't need to pick a password just for your site.

If you want to restrict logins to specific email addresses (or restrict to a specific domain for example), then Persona doesn't really change anything for you. It gives you a verified email address and you still do the check on your own server.
