LGr@www:~$ | Sciences et culture libre… Le blog de Malizor. Beyond the Code | Bringing Mozilla values to our products and the Web. In the spirit of showing what’s (and who) is beyond the code that powers Mozilla technology, I’m interviewing Lloyd Hilaiel, a Mozilla employee working remotely from Denver, Colorado. Lloyd, can you introduce yourself quickly? Lloyd Hilaiel – I’m Lloyd Hilaiel, the technical lead for Mozilla Persona. I build software that matters with people who care. Tristan Nitot – For those of us who don’t know what is Persona, can you tell which problem are we trying to solve? Lloyd – The problem we’re trying to solve is that passwords are terrible. They’re hard to remember, hard to type (especially on your phone), and given user behaviors – they don’t provide nearly as much security as people expect.
Persona is an answer to this problem: an open authentication system for the web that when fully realized will make it so users can safely use the same email address and password to log into all the sites they care about. Tristan – Why should users care? Tristan – Why should developers care? Sexactu. Pingoo.com.
