Axel has made several starting with openID 2 and recently for the self issued profile of Connect. <div><br></div><div>Leaving any talk of other technologies aside there are conversations to have.

I know that many in the working group here have been following Persona (and BrowserID before it) for a while, but now is probably a good time to look at it holistically and find out what worked and what didn't, and adopt all of the best ideas that make sense. Like, what if we could leverage a browser extension to start an OpenID Connect flow, but without getting rid of the ability to use it without browser extensions? This might be particularly desirable for the self-issued IdP use case, as well.<div><br></div><div> -- Justin</div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 10, 2014, at 12:17 PM, Mike Jones <<a href="mailto:Michael.Jones@microsoft.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">Michael.Jones@microsoft.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This had been rumored for a while and now the press has picked it up as well.
