Overview
Firebase UI Auth is a Flutter package that provides pre-built, customizable UI widgets for authentication using Firebase Auth. It simplifies integration with multiple authentication providers such as email/password, Google, Apple, and Facebook, offering consistent, accessible, and responsive sign-in flows across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, and Windows.
