Research direction

Start with the importUsers() entry point and the UserImportOptions interface, then compare the linked normal-project password-hash guidance with Firebase Auth emulator behavior. Determine whether emulator password-hashing parameters are exposed, and document the supported way to obtain or use them for migration if one exists.

Description

needs-triage

Hello,

I'm trying to export users created in a FB emulator project to import them into another emulator project and eventually a normal FB project.

I'm trying to use the importUsers() function of the SDK. I got the list of users (with hashed passwords) ready for the import, but I'm stuck at provisioning the UserImportOptions argument, since I'm not sure how to obtain these from a FB emulator project.

There are clear instructions on how to get these Password hash parameters for a normal FB project (link) but I haven't been able to find anything for emulator projects.

Is this possible? Any idea?

Thanks!
