Adding multiple google accounts to a firebase user

[Philippe Da Silva]

Hi,

I'm working on an email client and I'd like the users to be able to authorize multiple gmail accounts if they so desire.

I tried using Firebase authentication but I may be going the wrong way.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

As long as they don't need to be logged into multiple gmail accounts at the same time, you should be fine using Firebase Authentication. This is the normal workflow for most Google products; you select the account at sign in time.

If you are attempting to create some sort of aggregate that allows them to be logged into multiple accounts all at the same time, that's going to be problematic with existing resources. Although you might be able to call the OAuth sign in workflow yourself and manage the OAuth tokens manually. That's well beyond the scope of what Firebase can help you accomplish.

☼, Kato

Hi Kato,

Thanks for your response and I apologize for not replying back sooner (got involved on so many things lately, I lost count of the emails I received since my original post).

I totally understand that it will be beyond the scope of Firebase and your answer just confirms what I thought would be the required scenario.

Best regards,

Philippe
