Add Google Authentication with Firebase #2
Description
The website currently does not provide Google Authentication using Firebase. This makes it harder for users to quickly sign in with their Google accounts.
Proposed Solution
Integrate Firebase Authentication with Google as a sign-in provider.
Add a “Sign in with Google” button to the login page.
Handle login, logout, and session persistence.
Store basic user profile info (name, email, photo) after authentication.
Use Cases
Users can log in with one click using their Google account.
Avoids the need for manual email/password setup.
Improves user onboarding and reduces friction.
Benefits
Faster & easier login.
Modern authentication standard.
Increases accessibility and security.
Additional Context
Firebase provides built-in support for Google sign-in, so the integration should be straightforward.
