Firebaseui-web: User cannot cancel or navigate back after clicking "Sign in with Email"

[mhuebert]

After clicking "Sign in with Email" (not using AccountsChooser), the user has no way of clicking 'cancel' or 'back' to go back and choose a different authentication method. (Other authentication methods are also hidden at this stage.)

We don't provide any cancel button in any of the views indeed, however, the back button of the browser should work. Isn't it the case?

[mhuebert]

No, the back button does not work. If I open a blank tab and navigate to my sign-in screen, click to sign in via email, and then click 'Back', my browser goes back to the blank screen.

(this does not apply if you are using AccountChooser)

[TMSCH]

Oh, that's a bug indeed. Thanks for raising it.

[mhuebert]

Thanks for shipping this in the release so fast!

Minor note, the 'Cancel' button shows up even when the email window has been displayed automatically on widget start, & there's nothing to go 'back' to (when only the email provider is enabled)

Yes I am aware of that. It's a low priority improvement, I can fix later. It only happens when email is only enabled and accountchooser.com is disabled.

[bojeil-google]

We can keep this issue open until it is fixed.

This should be fixed in https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web/releases/tag/v2.3.0
Cancel button should not show when only Email provider is used and accountchooser.com is disabled.
