When you log in with firebase, it typically gives you a refresh token and an id token. These are JWT's that identify the user and the other refreshes the id token when it expires as the id token expires after 1 hour.

If you are using something like PyreBase auth.current_user = None is not secure.

Instead, you should look at the sign out method provided.

import pyrebase

firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)
auth = firebase.auth()
user = auth.sign_in_with_email_and_password(email,password)
auth.signOut()

There is no way to invalidate a specific token, however you can invalidate the refresh token (refer this article)

But that doesn't seem to be your problem. So, Simply the best way to go about this would be to delete the token or forget the user from client side :

auth.current_user = None

After the user is set to None, the requests will not be authenticated and hence it's more like the user has logged out.

Still, if you want to implement this for some specific case, there is a workaround you can refer here
