I'm working on an Android application that uses Firebase Authentication, for the signup I intent to store the username, email and password. Is it possible to store the username in the Firebase authentication file instead of having to create a db? For instance is it possible to avoid creating a Firestore user database by just capturing their information through the Firebase Authentication and storing it along with the email and password?

I tried sending the username to Firebase Authentication along with the email and password but got an error.

  • "Is it possible to store the username in the Firebase authentication file instead of having to create a db?" Firebase Authentication can store a fixed number of values. One of those is a display name, but that is typically used for the user's full name. If you want to store more values, you'll have to store them outside of Firebase Authentication in a database that you control. – Frank van Puffelen Nov 29 '22 at 20:09
