Firebase error: Blocked all requests from this device due to unusual activity

I am getting the error below when testing Firebase authentication

We have blocked all requests from this device due to unusual activity. Try again later.

How do I fix this without deleting any data? There has to be a way to enable development/testing this stuff.

You're seeing this error because of sending too many auth requests from or using one IP address for a given period of time. Firebase auth requests are limited for security purposes.

In order to avoid this error in the future, I'd suggest you to throttle or put delays on your authentication requests.

The penalty or blockage will be lifted eventually, or contact Firebase Support if not.

Hope this helps.
