Hmm .. you are probably referring to my follow up article, which is not published here yet. It's fast if you use email/password authentication, but if you do it as pop-up auth you are actually entering the "signing in" state, because pop-up itself is actually opened by the Firebase auth sdk. If you close the popup without logging in the promise will throw an error (and you transition to another state).

Ah I see... looking forward to the next article then. Do a lot of companies use Firebase? I see a lot of tutorials do but it seldom appears in job description. I personally like it because it enables me to focus on front-end development and saves time on writing backend.

I know that Firebase is widely used for mobile apps. Web part is not as popular, but it's catching on for the reasons you mention.

In my opinion Firebase is a perfect tool for proof of concepts, smaller (hobby) apps and devs on a budget. You get a very generous free quota and then you pay for what you use. Firebase auth is free to use too.
