Can I associate additional data to my profile? A lot of websites I use want to know my name, nickname, age, avatar-pic, timezone, etc. It would be nice if I could store it all with my Persona account and selectively allow access to sites that request it. I could even store my credit card info, and when the site wants me to fill in my address and such, I just click to allow access to that data, which can then autofill the forms.

I could even add things like have browsing preference data like "prefers-dark-on-light-theme", "no-video-or-audio-autoplay", or "no-nsfw-content". The site can add functionality for these preferences if it chooses to. Does Persona already have this?

No, we don't currently provide any profile information.

We'd love to see more experiments in this space. Get involved https://github.com/mozilla/browserid
