Hi Guys

 I'm having hard time to find out how to update user password of the new Firebase.

 

what is the correct parameter for the reauthentication method?

Thanks

Hey Ron,

We will need an mcve in order to help you out. Please put together a JSFiddle or Plunkr demonstrating your issue, or at least drop us some code showing what you have and have not tried. As noted in the reference documentation for reauthenticate(), it takes an instance of firebase.auth.AuthCredential.

From the minimal code you provide, it appears like you are trying to reauthenticate.

To reauthenticate a password user, call:

auth.currentUser.reauthenticate(firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.credential('us...@example.com', 'existingPassword'));

However it seems like you are updating the password. To do so call:

auth.currentUser.updatePassword('newPassword');
