I was talking about rolling you own email/password auth from scratch. I keep hearing about Firebase and how easy it is. Is that like AWS Cognito? Does it have custom branding or is it a drop-in form? Can it be hooked to your own SQL database?
It's far easier than AWS Cognito. Yes, I've used both.
Firebase auth is as easy as it gets for auth. Want Username/Pass? Just enable it. Want Google, Twitter, Firebase, Apple, Github, etc.? Just enable it, and write the handlers.
Want to hook into your own SQL database? Easy. Set up a firebase listener, that handles the auth event, and write whatever you want (username, auth details) to SQL.
This is a 100% solved problem and Firebase does a superb job it it.
