> Am I just making up a password for a Persona account and it's using my email address as the user id?

Yes, gmail isn't a Persona identity provider, so we have to create an account for you.

Try logging in with a yahoo email account. You will not have to create a "Persona account" password.

The moment Google implements Persona support, we'll stop asking you for this password and delegate to Google's web log in flow.
