Overview
We're looking to improve the security and efficiency of our admin authentication process. The goal is to allow Phlask admins to securely access our dashboards while ensuring the protection of their personal data. To achieve this, we need to explore the capabilities of Streamlit's authentication module and investigate how it can be integrated with Firebase's authentication system.

Task
Your task is to understand, experiment with, and document the possible integration between Streamlit's authentication module and Firebase's authentication system. You should conduct this exploration within the auth_st directory of the project, which is already set up with Streamlit and Firebase essentials for login authentication processes.

Requirements
Familiarity with Python, Streamlit, and Firebase.
Ability to understand and work with authentication systems.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to document your findings.

Resources
Here are some resources to help you get started:

• Streamlit basic rundown: Video Link
• Google Firebase RTDB Admin SDK python Auth Documentation: Firebase Auth Docs
• Security: Firebase User Auth Tokens
