| − | == Introduction ==
| + | The 2.0 active client is being designed entirely as a browser extension--a new version of the venerable Higgins browser extension (HBX). |
| | | | |
| − | In Higgins 2.0 we are moving beyond "selector" functionality to add support for managing passwords, Higgins relationship cards, as well other protocols such as OpenID. Even more exciting, it becomes a client for the [[Personal Data Store 2.0]]. It becomes a dashboard for your personal information and a place to manage "permissioning"
| + | The new HBX acts as a client of the [[Personal Data Service Overview]]. This new HBX is highlighted below: |

| − | ** A place to manage the permissioning policies that control which of your attributes are shared with whom (including so-called “selector” functionality to approve the release of your info)

| + | |
| − | * Personas
| + | |
