How to Authenticate user with Login and Password ?

[bcba25]

In previous version I was able to login with login and password like this :

...
if(formData.valid) {
          console.log(formData.value);

          this.afAuth.auth.login({
            email: formData.value.email,
            password: formData.value.password
          },
          {

            provider: AuthProviders.Password,
            method: AuthMethods.Password,
          }

          ).then(
            (success) => {

            this.loading = false;
            console.log(success);
            this.router.navigate(['/']);

          }).catch(
            (err) => {

            this.loading = false;
            console.log(err);
            this.error = err;
          })
        }

But after update to Angular4 and angularFIre2 I'm not longer able to do this in the way described above. Facebook and google login works fine, using example in doc, but there is no description in documentation how to login using email and password as well as sign up.

All issues have to follow the issue template provided. I understand this is asking a lot and is generally annoying when you feel your question is straightforward, but just trust that it's critical to keep things streamlined and manageable for our team. Note that how-to questions are better suited for Stack Overflow or a discussion group.

If you check out the example here, and combine that with knowledge of how password auth works, it looks like you pretty much just need to substitute signInWithEmailAndPassword for login.
