<\/a>\nAs part of the Mozilla Labs Concept Series, we’re actively exploring new approaches to online identity management in the browser.

The goal at this stage is to refine the design and the protocol itself, so we are most interested in feedback from site administrators.<\/p>\n As with all Mozilla projects, Account Manager is developed in the open, and we welcome participation from everyone.<\/p>\n Hack on the project sources<\/a>. Connect as a first class action in the browser Today’s Web is highly personalized.
