> We think that Persona is a great attempt at improving usability, security and privacy...

We use Persona and love it. However, I wouldn't trust Persona for securing sensitive information. There seems to be no password requirements (at least when I checked months ago.)




That's incorrect, the identity provider is not specified by the protocol. Each user can use whatever IdP they want, with arbitrary password requirements.

I built my own IdP that has 2-factor auth, for example: https://www.persowna.net/


It's possible to implement an identity provider, sure. But that doesn't change the fact that there are no password requirements using Mozilla's default provider. Poor default design.

Btw, your service sounds very nice for those interested in securing a domain, but I was a little surprised by the pricing. Nearly as much as a Google Apps license itself.
