So when you authenticate your user you create a custom token using firebase admin sdk, pass that token to client and use that to login with firebase. In order to create the token you also pass a uid that you want, this can be uid you use or something else, and you can use that to access firebase features. There is a relevant firecast you probably wanna checkout [this video]

I don't know the tool you use and what are its capabilities. I found some interesting materials that might be helpful in this case: Tutorial [this video] - this friendly shows the mechanism generally and Node.js implementation. Document [LINK] - here you might find all possibilities to create custom tokens as well on third party tools which I suppose you are using. I hope it will help!

Try the following. Whenever a user signs up with your platform, be sure to save their basic information e.g. email , name , photoURL , signup/loginType , user-id etc to a database of your choice i.e Firebase Firestore or the Realtime Database(RTD) . So you could have the following Scheme in the RTD for instance: my-app ----users --------user-id-1 ------------name: User 1 ------------email: user1@domain.com ------------loginType:facebook ------------id: user-id-1 --------user-id-2 ------------name: User 2 ------------email: user2@domain.com ------------loginType:email ------------id: user-id-2 ---etc This way if a user claims to have forgotten their password, you can do a quick lookup via ema

Right now I have this code: var admin = require("firebase-admin"); var serviceAccount = require("./serviceAccountKey"); admin.initializeApp({ credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount), databaseURL: " [LINK] " }); export default admin; The serviceAccountKey is the file I downloaded from my firebase project here (Sorry it's in Polish) [LINK] I tried using this video as a tutorial/reference [this video] And right now, when I try to do anything I get this in the npm start console: 20:22-48 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression ./node_modules/google-gax/node

This is an old question but I believe the accepted answer provides a correct answer to a different question; and although the answer from Dipanjan Panja [LINK] seems to answer the original question, the original poster clarified later in a reply with a different question: Basically, I need to generate token from UID by Firebase.auth().createCustomToken(UID) to sign in user on firebase with the following function firebase.auth().signInWithCustomToken(token). Because the original question was clarified that the intent is to use createCustomToken and signInWithCustomToken , I believe this is a question about using the Firebase Admin SDK or Firebase Functions (both server-side) to provide custom
