Enable Firebase Authentication

IMPORTANT: You must enable Authentication in Firebase!

Steps:

  1. Go to Firebase Console: https://console.firebase.google.com/
  2. Select your project "scooty-charge"
  3. In the left menu, click "Build" → "Authentication"
  4. Click "Get started"
  5. Go to the "Sign-in method" tab
  6. Find "Anonymous" in the list
  7. Click on it
  8. Toggle "Enable" to ON
  9. Click "Save"

That's it! Anonymous authentication is now enabled.

Why is this needed?

Firebase requires authentication before you can read/write to the database. We use anonymous authentication so users don't need to create accounts - they just use scooter codes.

After enabling:

  1. Save the changes in Firebase Console
  2. Restart your dev server: npm run dev
  3. Try connecting with a scooter code again
  4. Check the browser console (F12) for any errors
