Simple Mobile Authentication with Firebase
summary
Concrete claims and concrete demos: Firebase Auth and Firebase UI handle email, Google/Facebook/github, and phone number auth with working Android code, account linking, anonymous authentication that upgrades without data loss, and server-side verification via ID tokens (JWT). Cited user stats (86% annoyed by creating accounts 54% abandon 77% favor social sign‑in) justify the approach. The presenter shows small client calls, server token verification and minting, and a working open‑source UI that replaces thousands of platform‑specific lines.
