Key Moments - 3 Insights
Why does the signup fail if the email format is wrong?
Firebase checks the email format at Step 2 in the execution table. If the format is invalid, it returns an error before checking if the email exists.
What happens if the email already exists?
At Step 3, if Firebase finds the email already exists, it returns an error and does not create a new user account, stopping the signup process.
Is the user signed in immediately after signup?
Yes, at Step 6, after successful account creation, Firebase signs the user in automatically.

Full Transcript
This visual execution shows how Firebase handles email/password signup. First, the user enters their email and password. Firebase checks if the email format is correct. If it is, Firebase then checks if the email is already registered. If the email is unique, Firebase creates the user account and signs the user in automatically. If any check fails, Firebase returns an error and stops the signup process.
