How to easily enable passwordless authentication on your Firebase site

Firebase Auth only provides one method of passwordless authentication natively, via an email containing a magic link. Even though the end user certainly does not require a password, this process is not an optimal user flow experience. Every time the user needs to log in they have to open the email to click on the link. This is a passwordless solution, but it is not ideal.

With OwnID, you can offer an authentication mechanism to end users that is passwordless and also free of friction points. End users will be able to authenticate using just FaceID or TouchID, without having to use (or remember) a password. And you know what the best part is? OwnID integration with Firebase takes literally minutes.

Read on to learn the steps required to perform OwnID integration on websites using Firebase Auth to register and authenticate end users.
