# Firefox Accounts

The Firefox Accounts provider is currently limited to Mozilla relying services but there is the intention, in the future, to allow third-party services to delegate authentication. There is no committed timeline for this.

The provider is OAuth2 based. More info:

The following Firefox Accounts settings are available:

    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
        'fxa': {
            'SCOPE': ['profile'],
            'OAUTH_ENDPOINT': 'https://oauth.accounts.firefox.com/v1',
            'PROFILE_ENDPOINT': 'https://profile.accounts.firefox.com/v1',
        }
    }

SCOPE:
