I notice when you get a taglist, you look to see if the username from the textbox is in the list, without downcasing the input to the is_in_list block.

So If the user capitalized his name, it will fail the is_in_list test if you store downcased tags in FireBase.

[Viraj_M]

No when I get the value I am using downcased letters

[Viraj_M]

yeah you are right But when I am testing I am using a text which has no capital letters

If you copy incoming tags, taglists, and values to global variables, they will be available for Do It diagnosis.

P.S. FirebaseDB also has a place in their developer website where you can browse the contents of your database.

Look for surprises there.

How do you encrypt a password with hash?

You have to understand the difference between hashing and encryption algorithms. .. There is a fundamental difference between Hashing and Encryption algorithms, see this stackoverflow answer: Hashing is one way. You can not get your data/string from a hash code. Encryption is 2 way - you can decrypt again the encrypted string if you have the key with you. In case you are interested in Hashing, for example to create a password hash, see my Tools Extension. For your purposes store the hash val…
