1058268 - Use cached authentication credentials for Firefox Accounts login

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services :: Server: Firefox Accounts, defect)

Description

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

If a user has already authenticated herself to a relier with Firefox Accounts, then subsequent logins to other reliers using Firefox Accounts shouldn't require the user to re-enter her email/password.

This is currently tracking train-21 in FxA, which is branched on Sep 8, released 4-7 days later.

This doesn't necessarily block initial Loop/FxA integration, but does block the user story:

"As a FF browser user already signed into FxA, I am identified with my FxA without extra sign-in so that I can access the Loop registered user features."

I don't see much value in keeping this ancient bug alive, let's revisit if we find a specific case where it's causing us trouble.
