About

Firebase Authentication is a backend authentication service that enables applications to sign in users using email and password, third-party identity providers, email links, and phone numbers.

It offers sign-in with services such as Google, Facebook, Apple, and GitHub, provides ready-made UI components and SDKs for web, iOS, Android, and Unity, supports anonymous accounts, and includes phone and multi-factor authentication if used with Identity Platform.

The Microsoft identity platform is a cloud identity service that allows your users and customers to sign in to your applications using their Microsoft identities or social accounts.
