I'm developing an idea and I just started trying out Authentication. All of the other Firebase services I want to use require API key that needs to be added to the site. Specifically, following the Authentication example: it's pasted in the login form itself.

Following the Authentication example, this would be visible when pressing CTRL+U.

When I check the code on a browser, the API key is obviously visible which I think is pretty dangerous. Is there any way to do these kinds of things securely when hosting your app on Firebase Hosting?

Exposing the API key is *not* a security risk. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37482366/what-is-the-firebase-apikey-for – Frank van Puffelen Jul 13 '16 at 14:54
Thank you! Guess my search wasn't thorough enough! – Jeroen Peeters Jul 13 '16 at 18:00
