Puedes usar Firebase Authentication para crear y usar cuentas anónimas temporales para autenticarte con Firebase. Estas cuentas se pueden usar para permitir que los usuarios que aún no se hayan registrado en la app trabajen con datos protegidos mediante reglas de seguridad. Si un usuario anónimo decide registrarse para usar la app, puedes
vincular sus credenciales de acceso con la cuenta
anónima, de manera que pueda continuar usando sus datos protegidos
en sesiones futuras.
En la página Sign-in method, habilita el método de acceso Anónimo.
Opcional: Si actualizaste tu proyecto a
Firebase Authentication with Identity Platform, puedes habilitar la limpieza automática. Si
habilitas este parámetro de configuración, se borrarán automáticamente las cuentas anónimas de más de
30 días. En los proyectos que tienen habilitada la limpieza automática, la autenticación anónima ya no
se considerará en los límites de uso ni en las cuotas de facturación. Consulta
Limpieza automática.
Autentica con Firebase de forma anónima
Cuando un usuario que no accedió a su cuenta usa una función de la app que requiere autenticación en Firebase, sigue estos pasos para que el usuario acceda de forma anónima:
Llama al método signInAnonymously de la siguiente forma:
Web
import{getAuth,signInAnonymously}from"firebase/auth";constauth=getAuth();signInAnonymously(auth).then(()=>{// Signed in..}).catch((error)=>{consterrorCode=error.code;consterrorMessage=error.message;// ...});
Si el método signInAnonymously se completa sin errores, se activará el observador registrado en onAuthStateChanged y podrás obtener los datos de la cuenta del usuario anónimo del objeto User de la siguiente forma:
Web
import{getAuth,onAuthStateChanged}from"firebase/auth";constauth=getAuth();onAuthStateChanged(auth,(user)=>{if(user){// User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties// https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/auth.userconstuid=user.uid;// ...}else{// User is signed out// ...}});
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user)=>{if(user){// User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties// https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/v8/firebase.Uservaruid=user.uid;// ...}else{// User is signed out// ...}});
Cuando un usuario anónimo se registra en la app, tal vez sea conveniente permitirle que continúe su trabajo con su cuenta nueva. Por ejemplo, puede que desees hacer que los elementos que el usuario agregó a su carrito de compras antes de registrarse estén disponibles en el carrito de compras de su cuenta nueva. Para hacerlo, completa los siguientes pasos:
Cuando se registre el usuario, completa el flujo de acceso del proveedor de autenticación del usuario
hasta el paso anterior a llamar a uno de los
métodos Auth.signInWith. Por ejemplo, obtén el token de ID de Google,
el token de acceso a Facebook o la dirección de correo electrónico y contraseña del usuario.
Obtén una AuthCredential para el proveedor de autenticación nuevo:
Si la llamada a link se realiza correctamente, la cuenta nueva del usuario puede acceder a los datos de Firebase de la cuenta anónima.
Realiza una limpieza automática
Si actualizaste tu proyecto a Firebase Authentication with Identity Platform, puedes
habilitar la limpieza automática en Firebase console. Si habilitas esta función,
Firebase borrará automáticamente las cuentas anónimas de más de 30 días. En los proyectos que tienen habilitada la
limpieza automática, la autenticación anónima no se considerará en los límites de uso ni en las cuotas de facturación.
Las cuentas anónimas creadas después de que se habilite la limpieza automática se pueden borrar
automáticamente en cualquier momento después de los 30 días posteriores a su creación.
Las cuentas anónimas existentes serán aptas para la eliminación automática 30 días después
de habilitar la limpieza automática.
Si desactivas la limpieza automática, las cuentas anónimas programadas para borrarse permanecerán en
ese estado.
Si “actualizas” una cuenta anónima vinculándola a cualquier método de acceso, esta
no se borrará automáticamente.
[null,null,["Última actualización: 2025-08-08 (UTC)"],[],[],null,["You can use Firebase Authentication to create and use temporary anonymous accounts\nto authenticate with Firebase. These temporary anonymous accounts can be used to\nallow users who haven't yet signed up to your app to work with data protected\nby security rules. If an anonymous user decides to sign up to your app, you can\n[link their sign-in credentials to the anonymous\naccount](/docs/auth/web/account-linking) so that they can continue to work with their protected data in\nfuture sessions.\n\nBefore you begin\n\n1. [Add Firebase to your JavaScript project](/docs/web/setup).\n2. If you haven't yet connected your app to your Firebase project, do so from the [Firebase console](//console.firebase.google.com/).\n3. Enable anonymous auth:\n 1. In the [Firebase console](//console.firebase.google.com/), open the **Auth** section.\n 2. On the **Sign-in Methods** page, enable the **Anonymous** sign-in method.\n 3. **Optional** : If you've upgraded your project to [Firebase Authentication with Identity Platform](/auth#identity-platform), you can enable automatic clean-up. When you enable this setting, anonymous accounts older than 30 days will be automatically deleted. In projects with automatic clean-up enabled, anonymous authentication will no longer count toward usage limits or billing quotas. See [Automatic clean-up](#auto-cleanup).\n\nAuthenticate with Firebase anonymously\n\nWhen a signed-out user uses an app feature that requires authentication with\nFirebase, sign in the user anonymously by completing the following steps:\n\n1. Call the `signInAnonymously` method: \n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { getAuth, signInAnonymously } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const auth = getAuth();\n signInAnonymously(auth)\n .then(() =\u003e {\n // Signed in..\n })\n .catch((error) =\u003e {\n const errorCode = error.code;\n const errorMessage = error.message;\n // ...\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/anonymous/auth_anon_sign_in.js#L8-L19\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n firebase.auth().signInAnonymously()\n .then(() =\u003e {\n // Signed in..\n })\n .catch((error) =\u003e {\n var errorCode = error.code;\n var errorMessage = error.message;\n // ...\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/anonymous.js#L9-L17\n ```\n This is also where you can catch and handle errors. For a list of error codes have a look at the [Auth Reference Docs](/docs/reference/js/firebase.auth.Auth#signInAnonymously).\n2. If the `signInAnonymously` method completes without error, the observer registered in the `onAuthStateChanged` will trigger and you can get the anonymous user's account data from the `User` object: \n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { getAuth, onAuthStateChanged } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const auth = getAuth();\n onAuthStateChanged(auth, (user) =\u003e {\n if (user) {\n // User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties\n // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/auth.user\n const uid = user.uid;\n // ...\n } else {\n // User is signed out\n // ...\n }\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/index/auth_state_listener.js#L8-L21\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user) =\u003e {\n if (user) {\n // User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties\n // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/v8/firebase.User\n var uid = user.uid;\n // ...\n } else {\n // User is signed out\n // ...\n }\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/index.js#L43-L53\n ```\n\n| To protect your project from abuse, Firebase limits the number of new email/password and anonymous sign-ups that your application can have from the same IP address in a short period of time. You can request and schedule temporary changes to this quota from the [Firebase console](//console.firebase.google.com/project/_/authentication/providers).\n\nConvert an anonymous account to a permanent account\n\nWhen an anonymous user signs up to your app, you might want to allow them to\ncontinue their work with their new account---for example, you might want to\nmake the items the user added to their shopping cart before they signed up\navailable in their new account's shopping cart. To do so, complete the following\nsteps:\n\n1. When the user signs up, complete the sign-in flow for the user's authentication provider up to, but not including, calling one of the `Auth.signInWith` methods. For example, get the user's Google ID token, Facebook access token, or email address and password.\n2. Get an `AuthCredential` for the new authentication provider:\n\n Google Sign-In \n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { GoogleAuthProvider } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(\n googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/index/auth_make_google_credential.js#L8-L11\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n var credential = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(\n googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/index.js#L13-L14\n ```\n\n Facebook Login \n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { FacebookAuthProvider } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const credential = FacebookAuthProvider.credential(\n response.authResponse.accessToken);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/index/auth_make_facebook_credential.js#L8-L11\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n var credential = firebase.auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(\n response.authResponse.accessToken);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/index.js#L20-L21\n ```\n\n Email-password sign-in \n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { EmailAuthProvider } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const credential = EmailAuthProvider.credential(email, password);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/index/auth_make_email_credential.js#L8-L10\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n var credential = firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.credential(email, password);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/link-multiple-accounts.js#L152-L152\n ```\n3. Pass the `AuthCredential` object to the sign-in user's\n `link` method:\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n import { getAuth, linkWithCredential } from \"firebase/auth\";\n\n const auth = getAuth();\n linkWithCredential(auth.currentUser, credential)\n .then((usercred) =\u003e {\n const user = usercred.user;\n console.log(\"Anonymous account successfully upgraded\", user);\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n console.log(\"Error upgrading anonymous account\", error);\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/auth-next/link-multiple-accounts/auth_anonymous_link.js#L8-L17\n ```\n\n Web \n\n ```javascript\n auth.currentUser.linkWithCredential(credential)\n .then((usercred) =\u003e {\n var user = usercred.user;\n console.log(\"Anonymous account successfully upgraded\", user);\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n console.log(\"Error upgrading anonymous account\", error);\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/auth/link-multiple-accounts.js#L55-L61\n ```\n\nIf the call to `link` succeeds, the user's new account can\naccess the anonymous account's Firebase data.\n| This technique can also be used to [link any two accounts](/docs/auth/web/account-linking).\n\nAutomatic clean-up\n\nIf you've upgraded your project to [Firebase Authentication with Identity Platform](/docs/auth#identity-platform), you can\nenable automatic clean-up in the Firebase console. When you enable this feature you allow\nFirebase to automatically delete anonymous accounts older than 30 days. In projects with automatic\nclean-up enabled, anonymous authentication will not count toward usage limits or billing quotas.\n\n- Any anonymous accounts created after enabling automatic clean-up might be automatically deleted any time after 30 days post-creation.\n- Existing anonymous accounts will be eligible for automatic deletion 30 days after enabling automatic clean-up.\n- If you turn automatic clean-up off, any anonymous accounts scheduled to be deleted will remain scheduled to be deleted.\n- If you \"upgrade\" an anonymous account by linking it to any sign-in method, the account will not get automatically deleted.\n\nIf you want to see how many users will be affected before you enable this feature, and you've\nupgraded your project to [Firebase Authentication with Identity Platform](/docs/auth#identity-platform), you can filter by\n`is_anon` in [Cloud\nLogging](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs).\n\nNext steps\n\nNow that users can authenticate with Firebase, you can control their access to\ndata in your Firebase database using\n[Firebase rules](/docs/database/security#section-authorization)."]]
