=== Verified Email / BrowserID ===
Signing into sites is a common pain point on Web sites today, and our first effort focuses on making it more convenient and safer to sign into websites. Verified Email is a simple protocol sites can use to implement sign-ins that is secure, password-free, and very easy to use.
The Verified Email project has several components:
* A protocol specification
* A Mozilla-hosted service
* Clients for Firefox, Firefox Mobile, and a pure-HTML client with support for a variety of browsers
Project highlights:
* Single-click sign-up/sign-in/sign-out. No need to remember passwords for each site
* Browser integration, for maximum convenience and protection from phishing attacks
* Mobile Firefox support, making it easy to sign up and use sites on mobile phones
* Support for current-generation browsers, no special add-ons required (using HTML pop-ups)
* Provides an on-ramp towards a fully decentralized system, with the user agent as ID mediator.

Owner: Dan Mills Updated: 2011-12-13
Our goal remains to provide to users convenient, safe, and open identity solutions that can become standard components of the Web, while working out-of-the-box as well as we can make them to. In 2012, we will expand our user-centric identity platform beyond sign-in to also include connect with sites and people as well as pay.
