Hello I am doing a weather app, and I don't need users to sign up with e mail and password. I want to sign them up using just their names and store their names in firebase if possible and address them their name inside the app. How to do this?

Why would you need Firebase for that at all? I don't know your use case, but from what you've said here, I think storing the name in `SharedPreferences` (or something like that) would suffice. – grooveplex Feb 09 '19 at 00:40

You need to edit the database rules to allow for non-users to make changes. – Elhoej Feb 09 '19 at 00:41

This is a bad idea, if you have 2 people with the same "name", it breaks your logic. – Gustavo Vollbrecht Feb 09 '19 at 00:54

The most common way used to be to just add a random domain to the name, as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37467492/how-to-provide-user-login-with-a-username-and-not-an-email. But the better approach these days would be to implement this as custom authentication as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35120939/username-authentication-instead-of-email (which has the same link as Lucien shared). – Frank van Puffelen Feb 09 '19 at 04:03
