Error linking account

[DonBraulio]

Hi, I'm following this tutorial and when I reach the Firebase Authentication step, I get the following snackbar error while trying to create an account:

The given sign-in provider is disabled for this Firebase project. Enable it in the Firebase console, under the sign-in method tab of the Auth section [ Please verify the new email before changing email. ]

However, in the Firebase Console I've already added the access provider for email/password (and the anonymous, which is added by default), both have a green tick saying correctly enabled.

I've recreated the Firebase project and the local code, and reproduced the steps (there are very few steps) as straightforward as possible, but I still get this error.

Any ideas of why this could be happening?

@DonBraulio Sorry that you ran into that error.

And that seems to be a problem on our side: the linkWithCredential() method is currently broken due to a change in the way Cloud Identity works. Starting in September 15, Email Enumeration protection has been automatically enabled on new Firebase/Cloud projects which causes the error you're seeing. A workaround for now is to disable enumeration protection.

Our engineering team is working into addressing the issue so that the workaround is not needed. I will update this issue once I hear back from them.

Workaround instructions which worked for me:

1. Install gcloud: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install
2. Run gcloud init, choose the correct Google account on the browser tab that gets automatically opened and authorize the SDK to access the account.
3. Run export PROJECT_ID=my-project-id.
4. Run export ACCESS_TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token --project=$PROJECT_ID).
5. Run the following:

curl -X PATCH -d "{'emailPrivacyConfig':{'enableImprovedEmailPrivacy':false}}" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "X-Goog-User-Project: $PROJECT_ID" \
    "https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/admin/v2/projects/$PROJECT_ID/config?updateMask=emailPrivacyConfig"

@thatfiredev This problem is still not fixed yet.
Your work around works, but probably not the right thing to do to disable enumeration.

disabling the enumeration work and it was triggered after trying to create account with invalid password multiple times , the problem is the wrong error message which is misleading. user should wait for a while and try again.
