username / password login and Firebase Authentication IP quota (100)

[David DeRemer]

We have an app where the requirement is for a username / password login, which Firebase Auth does not support.

Additionally, as this app is for schools, the requirement is that the teachers need to be able to create the accounts for the students.

Our proposed solution was to let the teachers input a username and password, then use a callable cloud function that would turn the username into an email address the user never sees (e.g., user...@theappname.app) and use the firebase SDK to create a new user with the fake email and provided password.

However, we are consider about the IP-specific signup quota.

To protect your project from abuse, we limit the number of new Email/Password and Anonymous sign-ups that your application can have from the same IP address. You can request and schedule temporary changes to this quota here.

Current quota per hour: 100

Since these accounts would be created by a cloud function, we don't really have much control over the IP, and we assume that if the same active instance processed more than 100 new users in an hour it would hit this quota.

Any ideas?

Hi David,

Creating the accounts in Functions would utilize the Admin SDK, based on service account credentials, so the per-ip quotas wouldn't apply. You should be fine here, as long as you stay within the API limits, which would apply.
