Almost every app has the concept of a user. And almost every app developer knows how complex and frustrating authenticating and managing those users can be. And that’s before they even dive into the intricacies of the various OAuth implementations. Firebase authentication solves this problem by providing a simple API for authenticating and managing users. Best of all – as with most Firebase services – it allows developers to do this with only client-side code. No server required.

Learn how to do this yourself by seeing an app built from scratch with AngularFire, a library which simplifies and amplifies Firebase in Angular. The talk will cover using authentication in routers, authenticating across multiple platforms (web, Ionic, etc.), and using the numerous authentication providers offered by Firebase (anonymous, email/password, OAuth, custom).
