'''Simple Connect'''
Alan routinely visits sites that use username-password logins, HTTP basic auth, and OpenID.  He is tired of remembering which credential style to use at each site, and frustrated that he needs to repeat this process after unlocking his Firefox with a master password.
Account Manager provides a single click to log in to each of these sites, and, when Alan selects "always keep me connected", he never needs to deal with a login screen again.
'''Two Users, One Firefox'''
Madison and Connor use the same family computer in the den, and can't be bothered to use OS-level multi-user functions, and don't understand Firefox Profiles.
With Account Manager, they can tell at a glance that a given browser instance of Facebook, Twitter, or Yahoo Mail is logged in as their sibling, and by selecting from a dropdown menu, easily switch to their account.

Diego is looking to improve his guitar skills, and wants to share some
Diego visits guitar.com to improve his musical skills.  The site promises exciting personalized features if he connects, so he clicks the "Connect" button.  Firefox immediately presents a summary of the personal information that it will send to the site, which Diego confirms, and an account (with a random password) is created.

site guitar.com, which he is a user of.  Diego has never been there
At a later date, Firefox asks Diego if he would like to automatically change the password, and to automatically change it for him in the future.  Since Diego uses cloud-based password sync, all of his other devices are able to log in using the new password after a sync.
before, and clicks the "Sign Up" link to create an account.  Firefox
immediately negotiates with the site which information is required for
a signup, and presents Diego with a summary.  After Diego confirms the
account creation, Firefox sends the information to guitar.com and
creates a new account for him, with a random password (which Diego
doesn't need to know). Next month, when Diego visits the site again,
Firefox asks Diego if he would like to change his password to a new
one (for higher security).  Diego has the option of changing it,
leaving it as-is, as well as letting Firefox change it silently for
him in the future.  Since Diego uses password sync, all of his other
devices are able to log in using the new password after a sync.


''If Diego has never seen his password, then it doesn't make sense if he'd like to change it. As far as he is concerned, Firefox holds the keys and it doesn't matter if Firefox gets them retooled as long as his experience remains the same.''

Ben decides to buy some flowers for his fiancee. He goes to his
favorite neighborhood flower store's website and picks out just the
bouquet he wants. When it comes time to check out and pay, he really
wishes he didn't have to enter in all of his billing data. Since he
has stored his identity and credit card information on the Weave
server, the web site is able to automatically pull in this information
from the server. The browser prompts Ben to grant access to the server
for just this transaction, he says yes and his purchase is complete.
