Authentication

What does it do?

Firebase Authentication provides backend services & easy-to-use SDKs to authenticate users to your app. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and more.

Installation

Before installing the Authentication plugin, ensure that you have followed the Getting Started documentation and have initialized FlutterFire.

1. Add dependency

Add the firebase_auth dependency to your projects pubspec.yaml file:

pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
firebase_core: "^0.5.0+1"
firebase_auth: "^0.18.1+2"

2. Download dependency

Download the dependency by running the following command in your project:

$ flutter pub get

3. (Web Only) Add the SDK

If using FlutterFire on the web, add the firebase-auth JavaScript SDK to your index.html file:

web/index.html
<html>
...
<body>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.20.0/firebase-app.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.20.0/firebase-auth.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

4. Rebuild your app

Once complete, rebuild your Flutter application:

$ flutter run
