892050 - Add a Persona account manager to Settings

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[Jed Parsons (use needinfo, please) [:jedp, :jparsons]]

With FTE sign-in with Persona coming up for v1.2, I think we should add Persona account management to Settings.

Such an account manager should have feature parity with the persona.org dashboard (sign in to https://login.persona.org/ to view).

It think it should also provide a way to sign out everywhere on device.

Implements logout everywhere.  Stubs out other account management elements.

The use of settings to put a message in a mailslot for chrome to receive (by observing 'mozsettings-changed') is not appropriate as a final solution because the message channel is not confidential, nor is it secure.  Chrome has no way of knowing whether these messages are really coming from the Settings app.

Bug 876397 proposes an Inter-App Communication API.  We could use this to message to the system app, and from the system app, send mozContentEvents down to chrome.

We are no longer planning Persona sign-in on FTU; instead, we will be using Firefox Accounts.

There's a Firefox Accounts manager coming in the Settings app (bug 929388).  I think that's what we want here.

Closing as invalid.
