By the end of this month, October 2016, the Persona service will shut down. What will this Discourse instance use as a replacement?

On [https://try.discourse.org](https://try.discourse.org) it is possible to login with an email/password or via Google, Yahoo, Github, Facebook, Twitter. Will that be possible here too? I think allowing those methods will greatly lower the barrier for people to join.

What do you think?

There are also community members bugging me about this here (Germany). If I log in, [https://login.persona.org/sign\_in](https://login.persona.org/sign_in) claims the service will run until November 30th. So there should still be a month for the migration. Many other Mozilla sites have switched to Firefox Accounts as login method, so it would not be surprising if this also gets used for [mozillians.org](http://mozillians.org).

Sorry for the silence here, we had to wait until our IAM initiatives could be made public. This is what Discourse will use going forward.
