Like Google, Facebook, Apple... Make it possible for websites to make a Login with Firefox option available so we have a trusted privacy preserving option given to us (and give Firefox some visibility)
I think there's some current thought going into something like this as well. Decentralized identity? Federated identity? Those keywords have been thrown around.
If there's a centralized authority, it seems like you could have it issue as many identities per account as you want. Heck, Firefox Relay already does something like this, splitting one email into multiple. But this is tricky stuff that I don't understand very well, so I dunno.
I like the overall idea of it, it would be interesting if Mozilla brought Persona back. I would trust it and use it over "Sign in with Google/Facebook/ect".
One feature I would love is better support for "basic authentication". I mean, when you have an .htaccess file on the server and the site asks you for username and password.
I am in the kinda sad situation that I need multiple users on such a site. But Firefox only allows me to store one username/password combination per host. But I concede, it is probably more of an edge case.
Your idea has received a great deal of votes (kudos) and support here in the Mozilla Connect community, so we are upgrading the status to “Trending idea.” This means it’s now one step closer to reaching our internal teams for review—learn more about The Idea Journey.
Please keep the conversation going (the more details, the better) and stay tuned for updates 😃

@crabelI think it's actually quite common scenario, especially for admins, testers or developers. I've found this bug that seems to be related.
