I'll put this in points to be clear:

  1. My company work mail (xyz@mycompany.com) is hosted with Microsoft 365
  2. I want to use Firebase tools like Firestore, Functions, Hosting, etc
  3. Obviously I don't have a Google account and I want to use this work email id to access firebase console.

How or Can we use Firebase without having a Google account?

  • Actually Firebase runs on top of Google Cloud. So definitely you need a Google Account! – Shri Hari L May 24 '21 at 17:33
  • Yeah! But there should be a way to use this mail id to access firebase console right? Because all my tools will be managed by admin@xyz.com and I would not like just this to be some other gmail.com. – Chaitanya Teja K May 24 '21 at 17:35
  • If `admin@xyz.com` is a Google Business Email, then it would be possible I think. – Shri Hari L May 25 '21 at 09:37

Apparently, there is a way. I've contacted the support team and I got this.

To give you an insight, Google login is required to use Firebase. If you don’t want to use a Gmail Google login, and have an alternate email address, you may sign up using this link. This Google account will only be used for identification and login, and won't be tied to any Gmail, Google+, or other Google products.

So, there is a way. And yes, it is working. Successfully using admin@xyz.com (Work mail by Microsoft 365) and a different password though to use firebase.

  • Is this non-straight way still exists or you can now sign in directly with the custom Microsoft email ? – sheko Jul 28 '22 at 14:50
  • @sheko The MS account 'admin@xyz.com' doesn't know anything about the 'admin@xyz.com' in Firebase ( .. _and a different password though to use firebase_). It's just a firebase account using the same email address, that's all. – king pong Aug 12 '22 at 07:58
  • @kingpong after i create that 'admin@xyz.com' from google with a new password will it be able to access all google services like any other gmail or email created from google workspace ? – sheko Aug 25 '22 at 12:42
  • @sheko Depends what you mean by "_after i create that 'admin@xyz.com' from google_'". If you create it using your Firebase project credentials, then it's not tied to anything else. You can create such an account with login/email 'admin@xyz.com' in your Firebase project ShekoProject1 and I can use the same login/email in my KingPongProject1. Otherwise Firebase emails in all Firebase projects would require uniqueness, which would often fire alerts like 'Error, user test@email.xxx already exists in another project' .. – king pong Sep 02 '22 at 10:25

Unfortunately, it is not possible to access GCP without a Google account and a Google Billing account. You could look into an organization account but this still requires a master Google account to set up additional users through the Google Identity Platform.

This also supports creating a Google Cloud Platform Organization, but would most likely be outside of your original interest.
