I worry about this approach in that Firefox does not know my Facebook password unless I ask Firefox to save it. Even then, just because I save my password in Firefox does not mean I want Firefox to auto-login to services using that password. What if I save three different passwords for three different usernames in my Firefox?
We should be more explicit about password usage and logging into services. ----- Original Message ----- > There's been an idea kicked around repeatedly by andreas and ekr that we > could do login to picl *implictly* based on browser knowledge of sites you > visit. > The idea goes something like this "given that PiCL is inside the browser, and > the browser knows your identity on various sites, couldn't we just use the > accounts you already have to sign you into PiCL". > This idea represents a significant divergence from what we're doing now, > building Firefox accounts. > If it has legs, we should understand now.
