Add an AuthUI.reauthenticate() function
See original GitHub issueThere are some Firebase Auth actions that require a recent (~5mins) sign-in to succeed:
- Delete account (#478)
- Change email
- Etc
We should offer a simple method to launch into a re-authentication flow that allows the user to sign in choosing from any of their linked providers.
Considerations:
- This would likely have to be a method that returns an
Intentsimilar to the sign-in intent - The developer will probably want to provide a reason for the re-authentication, maybe passed in
- This would be similar to the normal sign-in flow with a few alterations:
- Account creation disabled
- Account picker screen lists only methods the user has already linked to the

This is really a necessary feature. I am currently using the unreleased/unsupported iOS FUIAccountSettingsViewController, and it seems to be working for me. But it should be officially released and also available for Android.
At the moment FirebaseAuthUI is a 80% solution for iOS and even less for Android. To be able to change email/password etc i still need to build everything myself and i really start to doubt our decision to use FirebaseAuthUI in the first place.
From the website: “Easily add sign-in to your Android app with FirebaseUI FirebaseUI is a library built on top of the Firebase Authentication SDK that provides drop-in UI flows for use in your app.”
No it’s not. Not if there is no support to do basic operations like email/password change.
We need either documentation how to handle reauthentication (besides email/password which is documented) or even better, release the FUIAccountSettingsViewController and an Android-port of it.
It’s been more than 2 years from its initial progress and more than a year from the last update, did you guys abandon this key feature?
