==How does a user create and sign in to a Firefox Account?==
Firefox Accounts will work much like authentication works just about everywhere else. You create a Firefox Account with a verified email and password. You sign in to Firefox Accounts with your email and password. We are currently evaluating creating and logging in to a Firefox Account with a mobile number.
==Why does Firefox Accounts require me to choose a password?==
The first relying service we're targeting with Firefox Accounts is Firefox Sync. Current Firefox Sync encrypts all your data in our servers, and we will continue to do so in the Firefox Accounts backed version of Sync. However, in the FxA backed version of Firefox Sync, we will encrypt your Sync data with a key derived from your Firefox Account password, instead a random key managed by the J-PAKE pairing protocol. This technique of using a password derived sync key is similar to how data protection in [https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1181035?hl=en&ref_topic=1693469 Chrome Sync] works.
