Adding multiple users to Firebase Auth, using Phone Number Auth, & more! #AskFirebase

We are back with another episode of #AskFirebase! Today, we have our amazing host Jen Person, teaming up with Software Engineer Malcolm Deck to answer all your burning Firebase Auth questions! Watch to find out the answers to the following questions:

0:55 #AskFirebase “Does anyone know what countries the Firebase Phone Number Authentication option works with?”
1:25 #AskFirebase “Hi, Is there any way to add multiple users at one time instead of adding one by one user to authentication section?”
2:13 #AskFirebase “What’s the difference between Firebase Authentication and Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners? In my understanding they are basically the same service, but why do I have to pay for one and not the other?”
4:50 #AskFirebase “If we’re using Google+ authentication in our Ionic App, will it stop working once Google+ is deprecated in April?”

Can we have different kinds of users? For example in an education app, there two types of users students and teachers. How to manage it?

Please please answer this:

If I'm using an arduino to create hardware that is connected to firebase, how can I have different and multiple users connect to the same firebase project and not interfere with each other's data.

Because in order to connect the hardware to firebase, you have to put the firebase project in the code, so I won't be able to change the code for every hardware I make. So I want to have the same code for the hardware, but want the different users to connect their hardware to the database via the android app.

Thanks

There's a very limited subset of countries that it does not work for presently, and we're always working on expanding that list?

#AskFirebase I want to create evey user folder so user can only access that images or document that uploaded by only that user by auhanticatimg (by phone or email or uid) please suggest how to do

[balamuruganselvaraju]

nothing works out. Firebase is useless without any working documentation..just some code snippets here & there ..no real world solution....in the end, people are breaking their head in stackoverflow..Better create working samples for whatever you claim..

You guys are doing great. But doing it very slow. Please add more authentication methods like instagram, telegram etc.
