FIREBASE AUTHENTICATION: Has anyone figured out Authentication using AngularFire?

I'm working on a project that uses AngularFire, which is a combination of angular js and firebase. Firebase has it's own authentication methods, which works with google and other platforms, but I am trying to authenticate users through google. Here is a link to the quickstart guide for anyone that is interested: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/angular/quickstart.html.

Here is the code that I have:

ng-app is defined in the html tag and ng-controller is defined in the body tag

<head>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.15/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.firebase.com/js/client/2.2.4/firebase.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.firebase.com/libs/angularfire/1.2.0/angularfire.min.js"></script>
  </head>


<script>
      var app = angular.module("sampleApp", ["firebase"]);

      app.controller("SampleCtrl", function($scope, $firebaseAuth) {
        var ref = new Firebase("https://authtesting-73ed4.firebaseio.com/data");



        var auth = $firebaseAuth(ref);
        auth.$authWithOAuthPopup("google").then(function(authData) {
          console.log("Logged in as:", authData.uid);
        }).catch(function(error) {
          console.log("Authentication failed:", error);
        });


      });
    </script>
