Setting up Firebase Authentication
Before understanding the implementation we have to set up a Firebase Authentication in our Firebase project by following the below steps:
- Create a Firebase Project: Go to the Firebase Console, create a new project and follow the setup instructions.
- Enable Email/Password Authentication: In the Firebase Console, navigate to the Authentication section and enable the Email/Password sign-in method.
- Integrate Firebase SDK: Add Firebase to your web or mobile app by following the setup instructions provided in the Firebase Console.
With Firebase set up, we are ready to implement email/password authentication in our application.
Getting Started with Firebase Email/Password Authentication
Email/password authentication is a widely used method for users to sign in to applications securely. It offers a familiar and convenient way for users to access their accounts.
Firebase Authentication simplifies the implementation of this process by handling backend tasks securely, such as storing passwords, managing user sessions, and integrating with popular identity providers like Google and Facebook.
In this article, we will learn about how to set up and implement email/password authentication in a web application using Firebase Authentication.
