Export Google Identity Toolkit accounts

[Harry Singh]

I've been using Google Identity Toolkit for my project for more than 2 years now and quite satisfied with it. Of late, I have been facing issues with it though. Last month the AOL accounts stopped working suddenly. I reported it on Stack Overflow (SO) and it was addressed by someone from the Identity Toolkit team. Right now password reset is not working for my project (which as a GAE for Java backend). I have posted the issue again on SO and its awaiting resolution. 

It is becoming untenable to continue using this product without proper support. Therefore, I started the process to migrate off to Firebase. However, Firebase Auth has its own set of issues and I'm quite disappointed with it. I have sent my feedback to Firebase support already.

Now I'm considering another service from a Google competitor for authentication. Therefore, I would like to know whether it's possible to export all the users (I have 50K+ users) out of Google Identity Toolkit and take it somewhere else. For email/password based accounts, would I get the "hashed" passwords as well?

Thanks.

Hi Harry,

Sorry to hear your experiences with Google Identity Toolkit and Firebase Auth. Do you mind to elaborate the issues with Firebase Auth, or send me the Firebase support ticket ('Reply privately to author')?

You can export your users, including hashed password, using Firebase Command Line Tool. To verify user input against the exported hash password, you may refer to the Firebase hash algorithm details on Github.

Hello Jin,

Thanks for your response and providing the instructions. I'll try them out. 

I'll also reply to you in private to share my concerns with Firebase Auth.
