The Identity Platform integration with reCAPTCHA Enterprise API now supports bot protection and SMS toll fraud protection for SMS-based flows on iOS platforms.
October 31, 2024
Support for SMS-based authentication flows in the Identity Platform integration with reCAPTCHA Enterprise API is now in Preview. In addition, the integration now supports reCAPTCHA's SMS toll fraud protection and the ability to bring your own reCAPTCHA keys.
Custom organization policies for Identity Platform are generally available (GA). You can use custom organization policies to allow or deny specific operations on Identity Platform resources for the security, compliance, or governance requirements of your application.
Email enumeration protection is enabled by default for all new projects. With email enumeration protection enabled, the Firebase Auth SDK method fetchSignInMethodsForEmail returns null, for added security.
