Nothing depends on Persona. For example, see https://persowna.net/, which I wrote and which you can use with your own domain for authentication. You can also install your own ID provider on your site and not rely on any third party.


And if "your" domain is suspended, revoked or just expired?

You don't own a domain, you only temporarily lease it from a registrar. Just like with the email account with an email provider.


Yep, and that doesn't stop us from relying on email for our identity.


I doubt if it's true. From my experience, email is usually used only as a credential, not an identity.

Some cloud evangelists try really hard to change that, though.
