Firebase Authentication — 6 steps · ~15 min

Firebase is the engine behind your login system. It is a Google product that handles authentication securely so you never store passwords yourself. Every time a client signs in — with their email or with Google — Firebase verifies them and issues your platform a secure token. Without it, there is no login, no client portal, no protected content.

Free tier covers up to 10,000 active users per month. You will not need to upgrade until you are well past launch.
