I used “app variable user ID” to save the user id but i didn’t use a variable to store the email adress caus when I deleted the convertEmailtold function It also delete the email address. ---

Can you share your project with me? There are blocks you’re using that I can’t see that are causing the problem with data being stored in the wrong Firebase key. ---

You still need to have another `app variable` to store the email ID so you can use it in other parts of the code. You mentioned your problem is with the Sign Up block but you provided a copy of the Sign In block. Can you provide a copy of the Sign Up too to compare the two? ---

What @muneer is saying is that you need to store the `Enter your email's Text` block in a variable. Because this… ![B2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/1/51ab64b47c8aa831b7e84ee79cb4816241a20cb1.png) …will always save to the same key in Firebase. You’ve hard-coded the email address as a text string. You need to replace that with a variable holding the email address because it will be different for each user. ---

Your Firebase path used to be /profil/[email]/First name. Now you’re using [userid][email]/profil/First name. But in your screenshot way above, you showed your Firebase data starting with profil. These paths are like turn-by-turn directions to the data… make sure that you path matches your actual Firebase structure. And if you join the user id and email, you’ll get something like this: userid: 12345 email [a@a.com](mailto:a@a.com) joined: [12345a@a.com](mailto:12345a@a.com) when you probably want 12345/a@a.com So you need to add a “/” between `app variable userid` and `email` ---

In your blocks you have an extra **/** between `/profil/` and the key such as `/password`. You need to remove one of the \*\*/\*\*s. Another issue is the way you do the blocks in the screen `Profil`. You can have all the blocks in the same `Starts` event instead of creating multiple `Starts` blocks doing the same thing for different labels. ---

Typically, you would have a **users** key at the top-level of Firebase. Here’s an example I use in a project: ![Screenshot 2023-05-07 at 8.42.26 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/f/1fade8c2d1749b1d5b377ea48b7d6e6d9edf107b.png) Above “users” is the database url. When I want to set a value, I would reference users/[app variable user id]/Journal… etc. What does your top-level look like? What is above “profil” in this screenshot? Where is [app variable userid] supposed to be in your Firebase console? ![Fir](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/a/da30bced2aca3c89ac295afdb8085935a3b51354.png) ---

Your data structure will allow overwriting the data every time you have a new user signing up. ---

> [@muneer](#): > > Your data structure will allow overwriting the data every time you have a new user signing up. That’s right. There is nothing unique about the paths to your different keys (data). You need to organize it as I’ve shown above with users/[user id]/… so that each user id has it’s own key and path to its data. ---
