Thank you. Took me 15 minutes of searching to find this. Kinda strange it not right on their quickstart.

Just got this implemented and received: "FirebaseRef.auth() being deprecated. Please use FirebaseRef.authWithCustomToken() instead."

Looks like the up-2-date docs are at: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/api/firebase/authwithcustomtoken.html
