User properties include: uid: Unique identifier. email: User's email address (if available). displayName: User's display name (if available). photoURL: URL to user's photo (if available). emailVerified: Boolean indicating if the email is verified. Identity Providers Firebase Auth supports multiple ways to sign in: Email/Password: Basic email and password authentication. Federated Identity Providers: Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, Microsoft, Apple, etc. Phone Number: SMS-based authentication.
