1:50 "Can I store custom attributes into the user object?"

2:57 My question is about the anonymous user accounts: Will these ever be deleted when they aren’t used anymore? Everytime I clear data (or reinstall..) my app, another anonymous user account is created...Is this normal? How can I improve this situation?

4:55 "What happens after the Facebook token expires? I obviously need to re-enter my Facebook credentials, but how does Firebase know which user is connected to that same Facebook account, but with a new access token?"

6:07 "What is the best place to ask a Firebase question where there is no character count limitation like on tweets?"

Thanks in advance!

#AskFirebase Lets say I have a https function and an evil person makes a ddos attack on that function. Does firebase/google stop the function, alert the admin or it continues to execute but I should expect a big bill?

But actually there is a photo url attribute in the user's object. I think this was not clear in your answer and you just mentionef that the photo can be used in Firestore.

#AskFirebase Would you mind making a video about SAML 2.0 authentication? I've recently came across that problem during an implementation and we didn't have Firebase involved but I would like to know how it would work using Firebase? After googling for a bit, I am not that confident to get it solved.

Why not Microsoft account for authentication?
