Instance Members

getIdToken(forceRefresh)

Returns a JWT token used to identify the user to a Firebase service.

createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)

Tries to create a new user account with the given email address and password.

sendEmailVerification()

Initiates email verification for the current user.

sendPasswordResetEmail(email)

Triggers the Firebase Authentication backend to send a password-reset email to the given email address, which must correspond to an existing user of your app.

signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)

Asynchronously signs in using an email and password.

verifyPhoneNumber(phoneNumber, timeout)

Starts the phone number verification process for the given phone number. NOTE: Android supports auto-verify and instant device verification. Therefore in that cases it doesn’t make sense to ask for sms code. It’s recommended to register onAuthStateChanged callback to be notified on auto sign-in. timeout [milliseconds] is the maximum amount of time you are willing to wait for SMS auto-retrieval to be completed by the library. Maximum allowed value is 2 minutes. Use 0 to disable SMS-auto-retrieval. If you specify a positive value less than 30 seconds, library will default to 30 seconds.

signInWithVerificationId(verificationId, smsCode)

Asynchronously signs in using verificationId and 6-digit SMS code.

signInAnonymously()

signInWithGoogle(idToken, accessToken)
