What is Phone Authentication?
- Phone Authentication in Firebase is a method of verifying users identities using their phone numbers. It allows users to sign in to our app using a code sent to their phone via SMS.
- Firebase Authentication handles the process of sending verification codes to users phones and verifying those codes, providing a secure and user-friendly way to authenticate users.
- Phone Authentication in Firebase is a robust feature that offers several benefits:
- User-Friendly: It provides a simple and intuitive sign-in process for users, requiring only their phone numbers.
- Secure: Firebase handles the verification process, ensuring that only users with access to the phone number can sign in.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): It offers an additional layer of security by combining something the user knows their password.
