Customize Persona popup

[stenington]

After #511 goes through, we can add parameters to navigator.id.request() as detailed in the docs to add a site logo and site name to the persona popup. The popup can also reference our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

blocked on mozilla/persona#2999

unblock yoself, the old .get() API also supports siteName, siteLogo, termsOfService, and privacyPolicy :)

(They're undocumented, but should absolutely work. That said, moving to .watch() is a much better, more supported option :))

[stenington]

Oh, nice! I thought they had stopped working with .get(). Good to know we can move ahead with this one. Thanks @callahad!

@iamjessklein @threeqube @stenington marking this as a must-have, as it's a good MVP for Persona changes until mozilla/persona#2999 is fixed.

So are we moving forward with Observer API? Sorry I'm brainfarting on where we netted out on this.

[callahad]

I would strongly recommend moving to the Observer API as soon as any blockers are resolved. Adding the branding info to .get() nets a nice stopgap measure, but it isn't able to offer strong integration with future browsers, nor can you get "sign me out everywhere" messages when a user changes a password / loses a device, nor can your user be redirected to your site and logged in in response to an email confirmation. :)

[stenington]

@threeqube Yep, definitely moving to the Observer API once blockers are resolved, but it sounds like they won't be resolved next week. In the meantime, it turns out the Callback API supports a lot of the same customization options as the Observer API now.

[threeqube]

@stenington got it. Hopefully blockers will be resolved soon so first time backpack creators don't land on that silly persona accounts management page that we get from using callback API for too long.

this appears to be resolved

Indeed! Closing.
