Persona has been great and I do hope that we figure out as a community how to move forward, whether to some &quot;v2&quot; or to figuring out how to break the chicken&#x2F;egg adoption dilemmas.<p>I&#x27;ve wondered if a mistake with Persona was not trying to push it faster through W3C, WHATWG, OASIS or similar working group as a browser standard. It seems interesting to me that this was clearly a goal for the project (what with using navigator.id and everything) but it doesn&#x27;t really look like there was much momentum to push this forward into any of the big &quot;web apps standards tracks&quot;.<p>Particularly with the successes in things like Cordova and React Native&#x2F;NativeScript helping to standardize &quot;app features&quot; like geolocation in browsers, things seem to be heating up in the web-based &quot;apps&quot; arena and maybe there is room there for pushing something like BrowserID as a useful &quot;apps platform feature&quot;...
