How can I re-authorize an already-logged-in user with their password? What I want to do is like below:
const password = "some-password"
firebase.reAuthorizeUser(password)
.then(() => console.log("ok"))
.catch(() => console.log("ng"))
Thank you in advance.
You are looking for reauthenticateWithCredential method.
const user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
// TODO(you): prompt the user to re-provide their sign-in credentials
const credential = promptForCredentials();
user.reauthenticateWithCredential(credential).then(() => {
// User re-authenticated.
}).catch((error) => {
// An error ocurred
// ...
});
Checkout reauthenticate a user in the documentation.
SDK v9
import {getAuth, reauthenticateWithCredential, EmailAuthProvider} from "firebase/auth";
const reauthenticate = async () => {
try {
const auth = getAuth();
const user = auth.currentUser;
const credential = await EmailAuthProvider.credential(
email,
password
);
await reauthenticateWithCredential(user, credential);
return true
} catch (e) {
return null
}
}
const credential = promptForCredentials();
this is giving me error
cant find variable: promptForCredentials.
