A lot of apps throw their potential users off at the most critical part of the user journey: the onboarding process.
In this video, Firebase Developer Advocate ‪@PeterFriese‬ will show you how to implement a smooth onboarding process for your app using Anonymous Authentication and Account Linking.
What's so cool about this? Users can try out your app without having to sign in, but they still have a unique ID that you can use to store their data. Once they are sure they like your app, you can ask them to sign in, and upgrade their guest account to a full account.
