I like Persona a lot and I would love to implement it on some of my sites, but I wonder how to best describe what it does to the average user. "Sign in with Persona" will probably look just as bad as "Sign in with Facebook"...


"Sign in with your Email" is pretty clear.

Ah thanks for that


I'm working on implementing it myself right now, and mine just says "Sign in" (albeit with their design).

If they recognise it, then they'll know. If they don't, then they don't need to.


Three possible approaches, from most to least verbose:

1. http://sloblog.io/login has a nice, explanatory landing page.

2. https://www.voo.st/ has a small string of explanatory text at the point where a user chooses between Facebook or Persona auth.

3. http://crossword.thetimes.co.uk/ has a simple, unbranded "log in" button that just opens the popup.
