This is a NodeJS personal project that I use to host my identity: https://github.com/ozten/hostedpersona

https://ozten.com/.well-known/browserid (a static website) delegates to https://hostedpersona.me/.well-known/browserid which I run on an ec2 instance.

This clearly isn't as polished as aptitude install, but feel free to fork and play.



I wrote a service so you don't have to do any of that: https://persowna.net/

Just add the .well-known file to your site, and that's it.

EDIT: Actually, I might just open-source this and keep the hosted version for people who want convenience.


Side note, Your font differs on https://persowna.net/pricing/ and https://persowna.net/ for the logotype.

Awesome job on the site!


Oops, good catch! Thanks!

EDIT: This is really odd, it's the exact same HTML/CSS, yet a different typeface. Weird.

EDIT 2: It would help if I had actually included the font in the header. Thanks again :)


Dude, that's awesome! I didn't know you were ready to accept sign-ups. Will try to mention it more often. :)


Man I told you about it like three times on IRC (and that was your response then, too)! :P

It's still early-stage, but it works very well for plain authentication. Next step is two-factor auth.


Alright, promise: next month we'll blog about becoming an identity provider, and I'll highlight Persowna, the Drupal module, djc's persona-totp library, etc.


Awesome, thanks! I'll work on getting two-factor auth on it, hopefully it will be done by then.
