In the GCP Console, navigate to the "Identity Platform" section. Enable Identity Platform for your project.
-
In the Identity Platform section of the GCP Console, configure the Email/Password provider. Define email templates, password policies, etc., as per your requirements.
-
Initialize a new React JS project or use an existing one.
-
Install necessary packages such as 'firebase' using npm or yarn.
-
Copy api key and authDomain creadentials from Identity Platform console.
Utilize provided components and methods for email and password authentication. Implement Authentication UI:
-
Design and implement authentication UI components for users to sign in with email and password. Handle Authentication Flow:
