Additional information

From reading about local storage on iOS 7 Safari, it appears that local storage is read only in private

Although iOS 7 is probably no longer supported by Apple, there are many devices running iOS 7.
Two ways I can think of for fixing this is
1. Catch the QuotaExceededError exception and give the user a message
2. Check that local storage is read only and give the user a message

@mbrandt, can you please assign this to me? I'd like to try.

Replicated on iPhone 5s iOS 8, private browsing mode

Looking at mozillians code, the 'Sign in' is a reference to persona / browserid. Will try with other sites using persona to confirm.

Tried logging into dev mo through persona and got this error.
Same error with one and done.

Next: see what's different and same between the three implementations.

Usman I am closing this as Persona is approaching EOL and we will be replacing it asap with a different solution. Thanks!
