Cannot login with the Firebase CLI

Question

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.

Solution 1

Try:

firebase login --interactive

it will open up a browser window to authenticate.

Solution 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

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