De un vistazo

Firebase Authentication handles user login, signup, password resets, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Supports email/password, phone (SMS OTP), Google/Facebook OAuth, Apple Sign-In, and passwordless. Integrate in 1 hour (add SDK, call Firebase APIs). Learning: 1-2 weeks for basic auth, 4-6 weeks for complex flows (social login, custom claims, session management). Practitioners building secure auth flows earn 10% premium because security is hard to ship right. Firebase Auth removes 80% of auth implementation burden.

Qué es Firebase Authentication Mobile

Firebase Authentication is Google's identity platform for apps. It handles user login, signup, password resets, email verification, phone verification (SMS), and multi-factor authentication. Integrate the SDK (1 line: pod 'Firebase/Auth'), call authentication APIs, and get a user session. Firebase secures passwords, manages tokens, and handles account recovery. It supports multiple auth methods: email/password, phone (SMS OTP), Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, GitHub, and anonymous. Users can link multiple methods to one account.

❓ Preguntas frecuentes

Should I use Firebase Auth or build custom auth?

Firebase Auth if you want fast, secure, and low-maintenance. Custom auth if you have unusual requirements (SAML, LDAP, custom password rules). Firebase is battle-tested; custom auth introduces vulnerabilities. Default to Firebase.

How do I implement social login (Google) in a mobile app?

Install Firebase SDK. Add Google Sign-In button. When tapped, use Google SDK to get ID token. Pass token to Firebase (`signInWithCredential`). Firebase exchanges token for user session. Done. 10 lines of code.

What's the difference between email/password and passwordless auth?

Email/password: user types password (insecure, forgettable). Passwordless: user receives email link or SMS OTP, clicks link to verify. Better UX, more secure. Firebase supports both.

Can I add custom user properties (e.g., tier: premium/free)?

Yes. Custom claims: `setCustomUserClaims({tier: 'premium'})`. Then check claims in rules (Firestore: `request.auth.token.tier == 'premium'`). Avoid storing sensitive data; use Firestore for that.

How do I implement MFA (multi-factor auth)?

Firebase supports phone MFA: after password login, send SMS OTP. User enters OTP. Simple to implement. Increases security 100x.
