Firebase Authentication provides an interesting and easy to implement SDK framework to authenticate users.

User Authentication is becoming an essential component to app development as well as an expensive technology to develop.

Firebase provides a well developed secure environment to authenticate users as add-on feature to mobile applications, and personalized user experience across multiple applications.

This Template App simplifies the work to be done to integrate with:

1. Firebase Email/ Password Authenticator API, and

• sign-up
• sign-in
• sign-out

• reset password
• reset password link by email
• email verification and 
• delete profile directly with Firebase Authenticator.
