is anyone familiar with Persona (withpersona.com)? Domainz are forcing me to verify with them after I had to follow their password reset procedure, when they let some of my passwords expire.

 

I'm pretty reluctant to just give out what ever biometrics they ask for especially to buy an overly expensive .com name.

 

TIA

 

Shane

I'd be bailing from Domainz asap. They should not be using a service like that. 

 

They can verify you via other means that don't include sending your info outside of NZ.

Well it was obviously not that important cause they backed down when I asked them to issue a credit note!

any idea why one would use that over something local, I'm guessing pricing?

I'm still really struggling with Domainz. 

 

 

 

Every time I logon I either get incorrect password and have to do a password reset, OR I get yet another message saying I need to give my biometric data away! :-(

 

 

 

I've checked and 1st domains (STILL) don't have an API, can anyone recommend a provider that does before I go to GoDaddy? :-(

 

 

 

Thanks in Advanced

Metaname maybe if the API is complete enough https://metaname.net/api/1.1/doc
