    Hello,

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    You can try to use Firebase authentication to achieve this. You can have access to exclusive content after you sign in on some apps, to your playlists, to your profile information and etc.

    Integrating Firebase Auth in Xamarin.Forms is very easy and basic authentication flow.

    The steps are:

    • Configure Firebase app;
    • Create Xamarin.Forms application to authenticate users via Firebase Auth;
    • Create a .NET Core WEB API project to validate Firebase Auth token and return simple data;

    For more details, you can check :

    update

    According to your requirement, you can try Azure AD, for more details, you can check: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/google-federation

    Hope it can help you.

    Best Regards,

    Jessie Zhang
