Firebase Authentication

See section Firebase Authentication (opens new window)

Firebase Authentication provides backend services, easy-to-use SDKs, and ready-made UI libraries to authenticate users to your app. It supports authentication using

• passwords,
• phone numbers,
• popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook and Twitter

Firebase Authentication integrates tightly with other Firebase services, and it leverages industry standards like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so it can be easily integrated with your custom backend.

Before you begin

• Add Firebase to your JavaScript project (opens new window).
• In the Firebase console (opens new window), open the Auth section.
• On the Sign in method tab, enable the GitHub provider.
• Add the Client ID and Client Secret from that provider's developer console to the provider configuration:
  1. Register your app (opens new window) as a developer application on GitHub and get your app's OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret.
  2. Make sure your Firebase OAuth redirect URI (e.g. my-app-12345.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler) is set as your Authorization callback URL in your app's settings page on your GitHub app's config (opens new window).
• Click Save.
