app = firebase.initializeApp(config);
fstore = firebase.firestore()

collection = fstore.collection('issue');



auth = firebase.auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword("[email protected]", "secretPassword")
  .then((creds) =>  {
    console.log(creds.user.uid) ;

Auth object might not yet be available when your second code snippet executes. Try adding authenticated state observer to know when the auth state changes, and have access to the user object:

firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(user) {
  if (user) {
    // User is signed in.
    var uid = user.uid;

  }
});

This code should be placed before actual authentication.
