Firefox Accounts is a consumer account system which provides access to services run by Mozilla, such as [https://marketplace.firefox.com/ Firefox Marketplace] and the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/User_Services/Sync next version of Firefox Sync]. A user can sign in with a Firefox Account to all her "Foxes": Firefox on Desktop, Firefox for Android, and Firefox OS. Signing into a Firefox browser or device gives the user access to integrated Mozilla Services on that browser or device that requires authentication (e.g., Firefox Sync). Longer term we envision that non-Mozilla services and applications will be able to delegate authentication to Firefox Accounts. Firefox Accounts currently only a few things, e.g., * It allows users to create a Firefox Account. * It allows existing account holders to authenticate themselves, and perform related operations (reset password, change password, etc.)* It provides a delegated authentication API to relying Mozilla services (possibly third services in the future). Just like how Google Drive delegates authentication to Google Accounts, Firefox Marketplace will delegate authentication to Firefox Accounts.  Firefox Accounts itself doesn't store much about users, and we intend to keep it that way: * Email address* Password verifier* User id* Sync encryption keys* A log of security events about the user (from where and when logins, passwords resets, etc. happen), and from what devices the user is currently logged in. Firefox Accounts is only as interesting and valuable as the services attached to it, like Firefox Marketplace, Where's My Fox, and Firefox Sync. These Relying services will manage their own data, but rely on Firefox Accounts for authentication services.
