• Go to App Settings -> Basic to view your App Id and App Secret. The App ID is your Client ID and the App Secret is your Client Secret, keep these values handy as you will need them later to configure the miniOrange WordPress Firebase Authentication (Refer to the images below).
• App Domain: Write your website’s domain there.
