Does it also embed two-factor authentication, confirmation/reset emails for me? Those are the reasons one might want to go with Firebase.

It does 2FA. You have to implement emails yourself, but honestly it’s not that big of a deal (you likely have to do other emails for your app anyway).

It also does a bunch of other auth things, like OIDC.

Another reason to use Firebase is because they can provide a lot the advanced security (e.g. blacklists for 2FA phone numbers/emails coming from an algorthm whose innards are only known to Google).
