When I try to sign into Persona for the first time, it prompts for a password. When I continue, it gives a very cryptic response below with a response code 400 and Error: not a valid origin. Since I only provide an email and password, this really can only mean the code is broken at the moment. I couldn't find where to submit an actual bug report on this, so I'll post it here.

Does this happen on the Persona site or if you want to use the Persona ID via another web page that allows to authenticate this way?

Do you get the page for your email web page? Do you have an e-mail address with one of the supported e-mail providers?
