### 

Planet-scale infrastructure

Key features

Key features

### 

Authentication as a service

Identity Platform provides a drop-in, customizable authentication service for user sign-up and sign-in. Development and admin activities are made easier with a range of app SDKs (Android, iOS, and web) as well as admin SDKs (Node.js, Java, Python, and more).

### 

Broad protocol support

Identity Platform supports multiple authentication methods (SAML, OIDC, email/password, social, phone, and custom auth) to provide flexible integration options for any identity solution.

### 

Multi-tenancy

Identity Platform supports creating unique silos of users and configurations within a single instance. These silos might represent different customers, business units, subsidiaries, or some other division.

### 

Intelligent account protection

Identity Platform is integrated with Google’s intelligence and threat signals to help detect compromised user accounts. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods, such as SMS, can also be used to help protect user accounts from phishing attacks.

### 

Enterprise support and SLA

Identity Platform includes technical support and [99.95% SLA](https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/sla) to give you peace of mind for a foundational component of your app or service.

> Without Firebase and Google Identity Platform we would not have been capable of delivering the Sign-in with Apple feature in such a short time.
