Hide API key and other security credentials of firebase database.

Question

Is firebase a secure database... As my security credentials like API key and all can be viewed in the browser... So has anybody found an alternative or anything to secure the data??

Answer 1

It is totally secure if you use authentication. Plus you can write special rules for users.

Answer 2

one thing you can do is to set read/write rules in the firebase control panel

those rules are not accessible to anyone but you and can permit/forbid access to certain data
