Is there any way to do email confirmation for Firebase user creation and/or password reset?

Question

Question says it all. In Firebase, how do I confirm email when a user creates an account, or, for that matter, do password reset via email.

I could ask more broadly:

Answer 1

This would need to be done outside of firebase. I store users at /users/ and keep a status on them (PENDING, ACTIVE, DELETED). I have a small service that monitors users of a PENDING status and sends out a confirmation email. Which has a link to a webservice I've created to update the user status to ACTIVE.
