971252 - Add some text about Firefox Accounts to the old-sync account portal

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: Server: Account Portal, defect, P2)

Description

The old-sync account portal is the 3rd result when you google for "firefox sync":

   https://accounts.services.mozilla.com

We should add some text to that page to inform people that (a) this is not the new FxA account thing, and (b) this service will be going away soon.

Heh. That means branching off of the last-deployed version and dealing with stacks of bitrot. 

If that's looking too hairy, maybe we could have a zeus rule that redirects to another page if the request to main page or password reset doesn't have a parameter associated with it. That page could explain things and offer a "continue on" option.

I like :telliott's idea :)

Maybe we can redirect to the new sync sumo page once it's live?

Let's see how bad that would really be.  Bob, what's the currently-deployed version of account-portal?

Reassigning to Bob, and I suspect it's a dupe.

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Yea, I think it is, but I don't know the other bug number...

Comment 8

[Bob Micheletto [:bobm]]

Text has been added.  Look ok?

Comment 9

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Added where?
I can't reach this: https://accounts.services.mozilla.com/

Comment 10

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

https://account.services.mozilla.com/ is the correct site.
And I see the new text:
Using Firefox 29 or later? Go to Firefox Accounts
You can Resolve this. I can mark it Verified...
