Firebase Authentication provides secure user authentication with minimal backend code, supporting email/password, social providers, and phone authentication. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve integrated Firebase Auth in production Angular applications throughout my 12 years of frontend development since 2014. The most streamlined approach is using @angular/fire package for Angular-specific Firebase integration with reactive authentication state management. This method provides type-safe Firebase access, automatic dependency injection, and seamless integration with Angular’s reactive patterns and router guards.
