AWS Cognito authentication equivalent on google cloud platform - secure a web app using google id authentication

Question

Is there anything similar to AWS Cognito authentication equivalent on google cloud platform?

Answer 1

Cognito equivalent from Google, Authentication as a service, is Google Identity Platform with SDKs for all major platforms, protocols and Identity Providers.

There is also Firebase Authentication, a bit simplified but customizable, focused on app development productivity.

• Here is a comparison between Google Identity Platform and Firebase Authentication.
• Here is a short comparison between Firebase Authentication and AWS Cognito.

One of the example in differences between AWS and GCP is how build-in sign-in and sign-up web UI is offered:

• Amazon gives you UI you can configure at your User Pool console. It is ready to use, no code, but won't let you customize the front-end more than by editing css classes and uploading a logo. AWS equivalent of Firebase BaaS is AWS Amplify.
• Google provides code snippets and opens source libraries to build the front-end with, like pre-built authentication UI.

Answer 2

Seems like Google IAP (relying on the identity platform) looks like amazon Cognito.

Answer 3

Google Firebase seems to be the closest equivalent.

Answer 4

There is product called identity-platform in GCP catalogue that is close to Amazon Cognito but has lot of missing features and is limited to predefined user properties.
