15th December: Backpack connection to Persona.org service shut down!

Our students want to export the badge achieved in our Moodle to https://backpack.openbadges.org

They go to Home /  Dashboard /  Preferences /  Badges /  Backpack settings and click on "Sign in with your Email"

They get the information that "The persona.org service has shut down"; nobody can't actually connect our Moodle platforms to https://backpack.openbadges.org anymore.


Any solution? The link to Persona is still present in Moodle, even in the latest release and in https://demo.moodle.net/ ...
