Asked by Conrad Tucker on Dec 06, 2021 FAQ



In this tutorial on Firebase and Kotlin, we will learn how to use Firebase Social Authentication API to implement User Registration feature and store user data in Firebase and then allow user to login into our mobile app using their social accounts for either Google, Twitter or Facebook.
One may also ask,
Earlier, we mentioned that Firebase makes building mobile apps easier and faster. And that is because Firebase removes the stress of managing a backend. Firebase is also very compatible with Kotlin. Hence, you get to enjoy all the features of Firebase with ease while writing Kotlin apps.
Next, To authenticate your users, all you need to do is get the authentication credentials from the user and then pass this credential to the Firebase Authentication SDK. These credentials can be email-password or mobile number or any token from identity providers like facebook, google, twitter, github, etc.
And,
The Firebase Authentication SDK provides methods to create and manage users that use their email addresses and passwords to sign in. Firebase Authentication also handles sending password reset emails. Authenticate users by integrating with federated identity providers.
Also,
Building a Chat App: You can add a chat feature to your app with the help of Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). You can also use Firebase Authentication for user identification. 2.
