### [REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem
I am copying the description of this issue #1927 since I am experiencing the exact same issue.
Here is the description of #1927
"Using FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid() to get the user id of the user. This method is returning numbers instead of the actual user id in some case. Also, we find the users token is still valid but the user id returning from the SDK is of number example: 101528418014522522531"
I have had this reported by customers a happen a few times, and it has caused authentication to silently break for them, which is unnacceptable.
#### Steps to reproduce:
Sorry, not able to reproduce the issue and was got from Crashlytics for some users
#### Relevant Code:
```
FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid()
```
