angularjs - Angular passing data from factory to controller

Question

I'm trying to store an authorized user id variable, which I can pass to controllers. I know there's an issue with how I'm trying to pass the data from inside the closure of my factory object, but I'm stuck on how to fix it.

Here is my factory:

myApp.factory('Authentication', function($firebase, 
  $firebaseAuth, FIREBASE_URL, $location) {

  var ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL);
  var simpleLogin = $firebaseAuth(ref);

  var authorized;

  var myObject = {
    login : function() {
    return simpleLogin.$authAnonymously().then(function(authData) {
    authorized = authData.uid;
  console.log("Logged in as:", authData.uid);
}).catch(function(error) {
  console.error("Authentication failed:", error);
});
    },
    auth : authorized
  } //myObject

  return myObject;
});

Here is my controller:

myApp.controller('MeetingsController', 


function($scope, $firebase, Authentication) {

  var ref = new Firebase('http://i2b2icons.firebaseio.com/');
  var meetings = $firebase(ref);

  $scope.authid = Authentication.auth;

  $scope.meetings = meetings.$asObject();
//  $scope.id = = Authentication.login.id;  
  $scope.addMeeting=function() {
    meetings.$push({
      name: $scope.meetingname,
      date: Firebase.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP
    }).then(function() {
      $scope.meetingname = '';
    });
  } //addmeeting

  $scope.deleteMeeting=function(key) {
    meetings.$remove(key);
  } //deletemeeting

}); //MeetingsController

I'm really just trying to get the $scope.authid variable to pick up the value of auuthorized from the the login function of myObject.

The login method should have been called already by logging in via this controller:

myApp.controller('RegistrationController', 


function($scope, $firebaseAuth, $location, Authentication) {


  $scope.login = function() {
    Authentication.login();
  } //login


}); //RegistrationController
