They are kept in a secure database behind the Firebase Authentication servers, and stored securely using bcrypt. This separates sensitive user credentials https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/guide/login/password.html from your application data, and lets you focus on the user interface and experience for your app. Firebase backs this data up daily and exports the credentials to redundant, off-site backups at a secured location.

One should show a generic message instead, like "Password or username are wrong". The reason is not to show potential attackers which usernames are already taken, so it'll be harder to 'hack' an existing account. Sounded reasonable for me, but then something different came on my mind. When you register your error during login account, you type in your username. And when it is already taken, you get an error message - which is not generic! So basically, an attacker could just grab 'correct' user names from the register page, or am I wrong? So what is the point about generic messages than? Non-generic messages would lead to a much better UX. passwords authentication share|improve this question asked Jul 7 '14 at 19:41 verbose-mode 403158 3 There are sites like Yahoo mail for example, where enter the right username and incorrect password gives the generic message. On entering "Incorrect Username" it gives a message "This username is not taken ..." so much for security. I think this is a relic from old days and does not have place in today's scheme of things. –Dheer Jul 8 '14 at 6:47 Additionally, when you mistype your password on the Win7 lockscreen (where the username is preselected by default) you still get the generic message... –Nicktar Jul 9 '14 at 11:54 2 I prefer the "Forgot password" function, which also tells me if the username is valid or not in many cases. The link is usually near the password field, no need to go the "Register" detour. –basic6 Jul 9 '14 at 14:57 add a comment| 9 Answers 9 active oldest votes up vote 51 down vote accepted No, you are correct that at some point during efforts to prevent attackers from determining valid user identities you will either have to lie
