Firebase Authentication : Lookup a user by Email

Question

I am using Firebase Authentication with Email and Password

I would like to know if i can 'lookup' a user by email only while also not being signed in as a user

The reason I'd like to do this is, is to simply identify if I am already a user of the system, using an email address only

I looked at this older thread but it appears to be the previous version of Firebase

Is it possible to do this in the current Firebase, or my alternative would be to keep this information available (and open to all?) to find out if a given email is part of my system?

Answer 1

The new method of creating users with email password returns a value whether the given email address is already in use. See here
