updateAccountOnSignIn

How updateAccountOnSignIn works, I have a genericOauth configuration, where user has extra role property, which can be change in future. I want to take that role and update the user whenever he sign in.

Intercept a email password sign-in at server?

I want to customize the behavior when an unverified user attempts to sign in. Currently, the built-in requireEmailVerification automatically sends a verification email, but I'd prefer to just return a 403 status and let my frontend handle requesting verification emails explicitly. Are there any hooks, middleware options, or configuration settings that would allow this customization?...

MongoDB Duplicate Key Session Error

Hey there, I have been facing this problem for almost a MONTH now and still couldn't find a solution to this. When I log in to my BetterAuth account, remove the session key from cookie, refresh the page and then log in again, I get an error from MongoDB. That's because there is already a session created for this user. So I have to manually remove session from db to log in again. But I don't understand how I could fix this error as it makes impossible to have more sessions for one account....

Setting cookies with custom plugin auth

Hi, I'm having a few issues with setting this up the way that I want it to but I may be approaching it from the wrong way. I am using another application that I want users to be able to single click sign on into but it is not an Idp or oauth provider. Instead it providers a token in the URL that I can decrypt. The current imagined workflow is as follows: 1. User clicks button 2. Gets sent to /api/auth/test/sso...

How to handle phoneNumber.sendOtp errors ? Only 500 is returned

Hey, I wanted to know if it's possible to handle errors that happen in the sendOtp option of the phoneNumber plugin. Currently, throwed errors are sent as 500 without proper error message. If the user provides a malformed input, I may want to be able to return a specific error for that, not just 500. Does someone had this problem before, or can someone help me?...

Use auth.api as request only?

I'm using auth.api across multiple apps. They don't necessarily share the same DB, but I keep getting a "this relation does not exist" error when trying to use it. Using just fetch works without a problem. Any suggestions...

405 When signing in after deploying

I’m having an issue where when signing in, it uses whatever URL I’m navigated to, like if I’m using a Vercel preview URL it does /auth from that URL, instead of using my preset BETTER_AUTH_URL Anyone else having a similar issue?...

trpc

Hi, I want to "connect" my electron app to my nextjs server using better-auth with an admin plugin. How would I be able to connect an account to the electron app then get the users permissions to then do some things depending on these permissions? For login in would my best choice be an electron deep link?

[OIDC] Post-consent authorization in refresh token flow

- BA as OIDC OP (OIDC provider plugin) - Auth.js as OIDC RP client.oauth2.authorize(...) with offline_access scope + prompt=consent parameter works the first time (redirects back to client after accepting consent with client.oauth2.consent(...)) along with a refresh token, however subsequent requests trigger a 500 error. They work again if I delete the corresponding record in the oauth_consent table. What am I doing wrong in the flow? Can share more details as needed (query parameters passed to .authorize, etc.)...
