void validateAndSubmit() async {
if (validateAndSave()) {
try{

.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: _email, password: _password);
print('Signed in: ${user.uid}');
}
catch(e){

Error: A value of type 'AuthResult' can't be
assigned to a variable of type 'FirebaseUser'.
FirebaseUser user = await FirebaseAuth.instance

Solution:

void validateAndSubmit() async {
if (validateAndSave()) {
try {
FirebaseUser user = (await FirebaseAuth.instance
.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: _email, password: _password))
.user;
print('Signed in: ${user.uid}');
} catch (e) {
print('Error: $e');
}
}
}

Start from the validateAndSubmit() snippet and the signInWithEmailAndPassword call shown in the issue. Compare the returned AuthResult with the FirebaseUser assignment and confirm the demonstrated user access resolves the type error; done when the example compiles and prints the signed-in user's uid.
