Hi @NicolasPlanas1998, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I found a similar issue about this and I recommend following the suggestion of one of our engineers on how to retrieve the accessToken:

There are 3 tokens at play here:

• The Firebase ID token (publicly exposed via user.getIdToken()).
• The Firebase refresh token (not exposed to client code via interface, and won't ever be made easily accessible)
• OAuth providers' accessToken field. This is provided by the OAuth credential itself but is not stored on the User object

I'll be closing this issue now. If you encounter another issue, feel free to create a new one.
