Authentication

Firebase makes Authentication easier for Localess. Localess needs to identify identity of the users to provide custom experience and keep the data secure.

Email/Password

Login by Email and Password is enabled by default.

Google Identity Provider

Enable Google as a sign-in method in the Firebase console:

  • In the Firebase console, open the Auth section.

  • Click Save.

In case you limit access only to organization domain, please fill the domain name in Cloud Build

To sign in users using Microsoft accounts (Azure Active Directory and personal Microsoft accounts), you must first enable Microsoft as a sign-in provider for your Firebase project:

  • In the Firebase console, open the Auth section.
  • On the Sign in method tab, enable the Microsoft provider.
  • Add the Client ID and Client Secret from that provider's developer console to the provider configuration:
    • To register a Microsoft OAuth client, follow the instructions in Quickstart: Register an app with the Azure Active Directory v2.0 endpoint. Note that this endpoint supports sign-in using Microsoft personal accounts as well as Azure Active Directory accounts. Learn more about Azure Active Directory v2.0.
    • When registering apps with these providers, be sure to register the *.firebaseapp.com domain for your project as the redirect domain for your app.
  • Click Save.
