Implementation of Mozilla Persona (BrowserID) for WordPress

== Description ==

[Mozilla Persona](https://login.persona.org/ "Mozilla Persona") is an open source identity system from the [Identity Team](http://identity.mozilla.com/ "Identity Team") at [Mozilla](https://mozilla.org/ "Mozilla").

"*As a user of Mozilla Persona (BrowserID), you confirm your email addresses once. Then, you can sign into any web site that supports Mozilla Persona with just two clicks.*"

This plugin allows users to sign into your site using Mozilla Persona. A widget, shortcode and template tags are provided. Custom login and logout links can be created.

**Beta features:**

* Submit comments with Mozilla Persona
* [bbPress 2](http://bbpress.org/ "bbPress") integration: create topics / reply with Mozilla Persona

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is 'Custom login HTML for?' =

Try putting the following into this option:

`<img src="https://login.persona.org/i/persona_sign_in_red.png" />`

Now you will see a red 'Sign in with Persona' button instead of the traditional CSS button.

= Which server verifies the assertion? =

The assertion is verified by the server at https://login.persona.org/verify.

= I get 'Login failed' =

Only users that registered before can login.
The e-mail address used for Mozilla Persona should match the e-mail address registered with.

= I get 'Verification failed' =

Are you cheating?
If there isn't an error message, turn on debug mode to see the complete response.

= I get 'Verification void' =

Something went terribly wrong.
If there isn't an error message, turn on debug mode to see the complete response.

= I get 'Verification invalid' =

Maybe the time of your hosting server is incorrect.
You could check the option *Do not check valid until time* to solve this.
