Mozilla is shuttering its 'Persona' project, which has an impact on the Open Badges project. Users needed a secure login to access the badge Backpack, which is what Persona provided.

And, he writes, "as Nate Otto wrote in his post Open Badges in 2016: A Look Ahead, the project is growing up." Simple solutions (like associating badges with email addresses) worked for now. But we need to think of more robust solutions.
