I don't have the faintest idea what version of Bugzilla this is. Whichever version is live on this site.

Persona is a bmo extension.

note - even if you set your real name, bugzilla is a public place and your email address will be visible to all authenticated users.

Entering a password is not required to change your "real name" - unfortunately, the UI suggests that it is, but it's not. So you can just edit it.

Also, your email address is only shown to logged-in users, if that's any comfort.
