You’ll need to enable Firebase Authentication in your project. We’ll go step-by-step using the Firebase Console to enable Google Sign-In, Email/Password, and Magic Link login methods.

Enable Google Sign-In
- Under the Sign-in providers tab, click the “Add new provider” button or find Google in the list.
- Click Google → Enable the toggle.
- You’ll be asked to set up:
- A Project public name (this is the name shown to users when signing in).
- A Support email address (used for communication and recovery).
Once done, click Save.

- Still in the Sign-in providers section, click Email/Password.
- Enable:
- ✅ Email/Password
- ✅ Email link (passwordless sign-in).
- Click Save.

Add your domain to authorized domains
- Add your domain to authorized domains. If you still didn't have a domain name, you can do this later.
- Localhost is authorized by default.
- Go to https://console.firebase.google.com.
- Select your project.
- Go to authentication -> Settings -> Authorized domains
- Add your domain: yourdomain.com
✅ Summary
You’ve successfully enabled authentication for your Firebase project! You can now allow users to sign in with:
