## Auth.updateCurrentUser() method

Asynchronously sets the provided user as [Auth.currentUser](./auth.auth.currentuser.md) on the [Auth](./auth.auth.md) instance.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
updateCurrentUser(user: User | null): Promise<void>;
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  user | [User](./auth.user.md) \| null | The new [User](./auth.user.md)<!-- -->. |

<b>Returns:</b>

Promise&lt;void&gt;

## Remarks

A new instance copy of the user provided will be made and set as currentUser.

This will trigger [Auth.onAuthStateChanged()](./auth.auth.onauthstatechanged.md) and [Auth.onIdTokenChanged()](./auth.auth.onidtokenchanged.md) listeners like other sign in methods.

The operation fails with an error if the user to be updated belongs to a different Firebase project.
