How can you use Firebase tools with a work mail that is not from Google Workspace

Question

I'll put this in points to be clear:

1. My company work mail ([email protected]) 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?

Answer 1

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 [email protected] (Work mail by Microsoft 365) and a different password though to use firebase.

Answer 2

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.
