FR: createUser by specify providerID (facebook.com, google.com)

I am currently using passportjs with Node.js in firebase functions to create authentication. The problem is I used Facebook authentication. However when I create account using the following command. It still creates account by email only. There is no provider if I check in console.

admin
        .auth()
        .createUser({
          email: profile.emails[0].value,
          emailVerified: false,
          displayName: profile.displayName,
          photoURL: profile.photos[0].value,
          disabled: false,
          providerData: [
            {
              displayName: profile.displayName,
              email: profile.emails[0].value,
              photoURL: profile.photos[0].value,
              providerId: 'facebook.com',
              uid: profile.id
            }
          ]
        })

And when I try to sign-in from client side by Facebook with the same email. I cannot sign in since there is email existing in Firebase Authentication. On the other hands, if I create account from Client Side App by Facebook. I cannot create admin.auth().createUser({ … }) with the same Facebook email.

I think it happen because. The account is no linking together if we create account by Firebase Admin.

Hey @JochenDB, we don’t have a timeline for this. I will keep this post updated when I have an update. Most developers only need this feature for migration purposes and the CLI SDK is sufficient for that. That said, we will still support this.

Same problem here, facebook users get an empty provider image in Firebase Console and cant singIn. I dont get errors when I run my code.

My testing code:

var userImportOptions = {
    hash: {
        algorithm: 'HMAC_SHA256',
        key: Buffer.from('secretKey')
    }
};

admin
    .auth()
    .importUsers([{
        uid: 'asd123',
        firstName: 'Roberto',
        lastName: 'Ayala',
        email: '[e-mail]',
        picture: 'https://graph.facebook.com/10214464120199982/picture?height=250',
        emailVerified: true,
        providerData: {
            displayName: 'Roberto Ayala',
            email: '[e-mail]',
            photoURL: 'https://graph.facebook.com/10214464120199982/picture',
            providerId: 'facebook.com',
            uid: '10214464120199982'
        }
    }], userImportOptions)
    .then(function(userImportResult) {
        console.log(userImportResult.successCount);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    });
