Is there a way you can authenticate users with details stored in the real time database rather than in the authentication?

Question

Am trying to find a way i can authenticate my users using the real time database rather than using the authentication section in the firebase database. Any ideas??

Answer 1

`Authentication` is the best approach, if you use real time database directly you have to `expose the credentials` even if they are encrypted it is not the best approach. `Cloud function` Might help in this case though if it is your only option.
