I'm developing an Android app that uses Firebase login, still using the old Firebase console.

After published the apk into the alpha channel of Google Player Developer Console, I found the following strange account in my Firebase:

name = Nuage Laboratoire

email = [email protected]

Anyone know who is the owner? Is it a test made by Firebase / Google or I have been hacked?

In Firebase Login & Auth I just disabled Email & Password Authentication also if I didnt found a Registered Users like @cloudtestlabaccounts,com

Now, the only way to login is Google Authentication.

Any suggestion about?

It looks like you probably ran your app through Firebase Test Lab for Android (previously Cloud Test Lab) or used the the Google Play pre launch report at least once, which will happen when you publish to an alpha or beta channel on the Play Store and opt into the free test. When you do a Robo test with FTL, it will attempt to log into your app with a test Google account in order to discover all of your app's features.

The name of the user is intended to be clever. "Nuage Laboratoire" is French for "Cloud Lab" (Firebase Test Lab used to be called "Cloud Test Lab").
