Is there a way to get the credentials firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.credential(email, pass) in the the plugin. I tried with both firebaseWebApi and native api, couldn't find the access to the method.

Would you mind adding document references for the native iOS and Android SDKs?

Thanks, so when you login, a credential is created but never returned to the client because I never thought it would be useful. Can you enlighten me how it can be used?

Ok, I am using this method to call linkAndRetrieveDataWithCredential() for linking the password account of a user with his google or facebook account in the app.

When a user who already has a google account in the app try to signup with the same email id and a password, i'll make him login with the provider already he logged in with and link this password account with that.

firebase.auth().currentUser.linkAndRetrieveDataWithCredential(credential)

Any news? As can I see that's recommend to use reauthenticateWithCredential when we need to use operations like updatePassword od updateEmail, but to use reauthenticateWithCredential at first we need to get user credential with EmailAuthProvider for example. Or maybe there is another solution?

I agree with @plackowski. This information is very helpful for the app. @EddyVerbruggen, can you please suggest a short term "patch" we can do before you officially release the next version with this feature? Thanks!

Any update on this? Badly needed this for operations like updatePassword.
