Mastering React and Node.js Firebase Authentication [2025]

Complete Firebase Authentication Masterclass: Implement Google, Facebook, GitHub, Microsoft & Microsoft with MERN stack

What you’ll learn

• Set up and configure a full-stack authentication system with Node js, React, and Firebase.
• Implement secure email/password and social media login features (Google, Facebook, etc.).
• Manage user sessions, tokens, and role-based authentication.
• Secure backend APIs and deploy a fully functional authentication system to the web.
• Integrate social logins such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Yahoo.
• Build “Forget Password” and password reset functionality.
• Implement email verification to secure user accounts and handle account recovery.
• Design and implement role-based access control to manage different user roles (admin, user, etc.).
• Edit and update user roles dynamically through Firebase and React.

Requirements

• Familiarity with JavaScript syntax and concepts like variables, loops, and functions is recommended.
• No advanced JavaScript knowledge is required, but it will help when working with Node js and React.
• Experience with HTML, CSS, and how web applications work is useful but not mandatory.
• While we will cover React basics, prior exposure to creating React components and understanding React’s state management will be helpful.
• Understanding how to navigate directories, run commands, and install packages through a terminal or command prompt will make development easier.
• A code editor like Visual Studio Code (VS Code) or any preferred IDE.
• Node js and npm installed on your system (guidance on setting this up will be provided).
• You will need a free Firebase account to follow along with the course. Instructions for setting this up will be included.
