Let\u2019s talk about Firebase Authentication<\/span><\/h1>\n

Firebase Authentication provides easy-to-use SDKs, backend services, and ready-made UI libraries for a complete authentication solution for your app. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, email, Google, Facebook and Twitter, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Implementation Steps <\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Enable sign-in methods:<\/b> Enable sign-in methods which are available in firebase console.\"\"<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Design User Interface flows for your sign-in methods:<\/b> Based on the sign-in method being used, you will need to customize the application flow and user interface. For password based login, the app will need to display fields like email and password and if you are going with phone number based authentication then user interface should be customized for phone number entry and verification of the code which is sent to user\u2019s phone.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Integrate Firebase SDK and code for Authentication:<\/b> Pass the desired information to the Firebase Authentication SDK to create user id or to login.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
