900720 - Ability to "link" Persona account when setting passcode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Settings, enhancement)

Description

[Tanner Filip [:tanner]]

Similar to what Android does, when you set a passcode you should be able to link your phone with a Persona account. This way, you'd be able to reset your passcode without wiping your phone, should you forget it.

Adding to backlog as a new feature.

This is a system front-end feature AFAIK.

Please help to triage this one for v1.3.

I think what you're describing is on page 12 of these wireframes for Where's My Fox:

  https://bug938896.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=832630

Where's My Fox is scheduled for b2g 1.4.

There is actually no such thing as a "Persona account"; Persona is a sign-in service only.  But we still do want an accounts system for a variety of purposes.  Thus Firefox Accounts will also be landing in b2g 1.4.  It will provide both sign-in and an accounts system for identity-attached services like Wheres My Fox, Marketplace, and Sync.

Both of these projects are uh, dead, so I'm gonna close this.
