'Cannot login with the Firebase CLI

I have a problem when I try to login to Firebase using the CLI. I installed firebase-tools using npm -g install firebase-tools with admin rights. The steps I do are (from a cygwin terminal on Windows 10 Professional):

firebase login --no-localhost

After this I get the message:

Visit the URL on any device....
Paste authentication code here:

Then, on my browser, I see Google asking if I give Firebase CLI access rights, I say yes and then I get an authorization code displayed on the browser.

I copy this code into the cygwin console and then:

Error: Authentication Error.

I'm at a total loss for this and it's completely stalling my efforts to get to know Firebase. All help gratefully appreciated.

firebase firebase-tools

Solution 1:^[1]

Try:

firebase login --interactive

it will open up a browser window to authenticate.

Solution 2:^[2]

On windows 10, I had issues with my firebase login through cli. I had to run my command line as the administrator and it worked.

Solution 3:^[3]

In my case was bug in terminal in Visual Studio Code. On CMD terminal it start works.

Solution 4:^[4]

I got the same issue today and it was because back in the day I used firebase and didn't remove this define from my bash_profile

FIREBASE_TOKEN

try echo $FIREBASE_TOKEN if something shows up try deleting, open new terminal and re-authenticating

This works for me.

Solution 5:^[5]

my FIREBASE_TOKEN was FIREBASE_TOKEN=' '. I logged out of all my terminal sessions and tried again and that worked.

Solution 6:^[6]

Just run the cmd wit administrator privilege...! Happy coding

Solution 7:^[7]

If you really can't log in with firebase CLI using the "firebase login" command

Then, use GitBash instead of PowerShell in the VS code or any other code editor terminal. First, download Git SCM then use gitbash in the terminal for any kind of Firebase hosting command terminal image using gitBash

It does work actually!!

Solution 8:^[8]

I used with cmd, it was worked.

Solution 9:^[9]

I copy pasted the link into an incognito window, and somehow it worked.

Solution 10:^[10]

After running across this problem I tried multiple different things to solve this:

Used firebase login --reauth
Used firebase login --no-localhost
Turned off proxy settings
Ran command from within windows/system32
Turned off my security settings in Firefox

All these options listed above worked for others but not for me

Finally the way it worked was to install google chrome and run the command from from chrome instead of firefox
