The Account Manager project aims to help users manage the (currently manual and tedious) process of signing up/in/out of sites by adding chrome-level status and knobs to give the user a consistent point to view and control of sign-in status to the current site.

* <onlyinclude>IN FLIGHT: Early porting stages (primary focus on {{bug|571411}})</onlyinclude>
;Overview
<onlyinclude>See {{bug|571409}}</onlyinclude>.


We're keeping track of sites that support Account Manager, see [[Firefox/Projects/AccountManager/SupportedSites|this list]].
Account Manager is currently a patch to mozilla-central, and is being targeted at the first release post 4.0.


= Goals =
Note that there is an add-on prototype (the result of the Labs exploration), but it is buggy and speaks an older version of the Account Manager protocol.  It is not recommended for testing, use try-server builds instead.


= Non-Goals =
;Performance Impact


* Greasemonkey-like hacks that work only on one site, except as needed only to demonstrate the potential for the feature.
Currently around 1.3% on average:
* Creating new and interesting authentication/authorization schemes.
* Extensive hacking on Password Manager-like heuristics to make it only sort of work on more sites.
