Easily Add User Authentication to Your Application With Google Cloud (While Preserving Time and Nerves)

Tired of dealing with user auth as a dev?

Google Identity Provider gives you a managed solution that can easily be integrated into your application. It even has pre-built components.

Say goodbye to the hassle and hello to more time to focus on your app!


Google Identity Platform Provides a Fully-managed Service

A user authentication service is a massive pain for developers.

It is recommended to use managed services. You don't have to configure or update any server. Everything works as a plug-and-play solution in the background.

This frees you up to concentrate on the important part, your application.

Google Identity Plattform Has Many Providers to Choose

Aside from the traditional email/password combination, numerous other methods exist for logging in or signing up.

Implementing the various providers can be time-consuming and error-prone. With Google Identity Platform, you can easily activate them with a click on the GUI and then connect them with a couple of codes. Besides the standard e-mail or social login, you can also use a phone or an anonymous login.

So, if you want to provide your user with all possible logins, you can.

Google Identity Plattform Provides Pre-build UI Elements

So you want to incorporate social logins into your UI but don't know how?

Don't worry; FirebaseUI includes pre-made UI-Components. Copy the examples from GitHub, connect them to your functions, and you're ready. Because these buttons are widely used online, your users will notice familiar UI-Elements and feel right at home.

This is most likely the quickest way to get started.
