I need to verify the user's password again before allowing them to change it.
Currently, my Firebase Auth setup is defined in Firebase.js and exported correctly
//appConfig = ...(all the configurations here)
const app = firebase.initializeApp(appConfig);
const projectAuth = app.auth()
export { projectAuth }
In PasswordManager.js, I utilize the exported projectAuth like this:
import { projectAuth } from "../firebase";
const authenticateCurrentPassword = async (currentPassword) => {
try {
const cred = projectAuth.EmailAuthProvider.credential(
projectAuth.currentUser.email, currentPassword);
projectAuth.reauthenticateWithCredentials(cred)
await projectAuth.reauthenticateAndRetrieveDataWithCredential(cred);
dispatchIfNotCancelled( {type: 'AUTHENTICATED'})
return true
}
catch (err) {
console.log(err)
dispatchIfNotCancelled( {type: 'ERROR'})
}
}
While trying to initialize "cred," I encounter an error indicating credential doesn't exist:
"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'credential')"
I understand that credential is a function within EmailAuthProvider. By the way, I'm using
"firebase": "^7.24.0"
