createUserWithEmailAndPassword - automatic sign-in behavior

[Daniel]

Hi,

Is there a way of using `createUserWithEmailAndPassword` without signing out the current user? The reason I'm asking is because I'm demanding that the email gets verified before the user can log-in.

Currently I need to sign out the active user, start the `createUserWithEmailAndPassword` process, call `.getCurrentUser().sendEmailVerification();` and then sign out the user immediately, leaving the app in a signed out state, until the user verifies the email and signs in again.

I would prefer to keep the active user signed in, have the `createUserWithEmailAndPassword` pass me a handle to a temporary user on which I can call `.getCurrentUser().sendEmailVerification();` and then, if necessary, to sign that temporary user out, but keep the initial user signed in.

Is there a way of doing this? I'm registering signed-in users with my backend, so sign-out, sign-in involves a bit more than just Firebase and Google Sign-In.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Daniel,

Why are we calling createUser*() if we are already authenticated? In the case where you're authenticated, you can just use firebase.auth().getCurrentUser() and then call your email verification from there. Or is this intended to be some sort of administrative function? Or or we trying to link multiple accounts from different providers? Is this happening at the server or on the client?
