Bearer 2FA
I’m using bearer plugin for auth flow because of tauri mobile app. Default login are working fine when I receive a token - just put it inside localstorage and that’s all. Problem is when I need to sign in with TOTP enabled, after sign-in I receive ‘twoFactorEnabled’ and requesting a TOTP code but I cannot verify it because token that we have not linked to any session yet. I see some other cookies that I can’t use because of tauri cookie limitation such as 2fa, don’t remember and other.
@Better Auth can you please provide a doc link where defined flow of not using any cookies but having 2fa, trust device, remember me features working?...
Next-intl + Stripe
Has anyone had an issue where a calling authClient.subscription.upgrade eventually leads to a localized api endpoint? I figure directly after processing in /api/auth/subscription/upgrade there's a call that's redirected to a localization, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it (ps I've already tweaked my middleware.ts)

MCP plugin: problems with oauth and how to show consent screen to user
I implemented according to the mcp plugin docs but I cannot add it as a custom connector in Claude Desktop. Neither the localhost nor a version hosted on vercel. When I disable auth / oauth it works seamlessly and all the tools load and work.
A guess would be because of the protected-ressource-metadata that is not inplemented according to the docs?...
Waterfall in custom session plugin
So currently I am using
customSessionPlugin to decorate my session. I have user_preferences schema, that has 1:1 realtionship with user. This create waterfall chain first session-> user->user_preferences. The waterfall between session and user makes absolute sense but I was wondering if we could avoid waterfall between user and user_preferences. I was going through code of fetchSession and it seems this is not possible in better-auth.
Has anyone tackled this before? Any workarounds or patterns you've adopted would be super helpful!...better-auth+prisma+mongodb combo literally doesn't work
When the psiam.schema is generated using the better auth cli generate command, I was surprised that all the ids didn't have the @db.ObjectId
I ignored that at first glance, but then I hit a wall where I literally can't work anymore..

OTP immediately expires after creating
Hi Better Auth team,
I’m running into a persistent issue with OTPs in my project. Whenever a user signs up or requests an OTP:
I am using password & email plugin to sign-up user, then we use that email to send a verification email. We also have the Email OTP plugin configured. AuthClient.signUp.email(...)then authClient.emailOtp.sendVerificationOtp(...). We use authClient.emailOtp.verifyEmail(...) to verify the email. ...
How to enforce max active sessions in Next.js with better-auth?
Hey, I’m using Next.js with better-auth (Drizzle ORM + Postgres, Google OAuth only) and I want to implement a max active session feature.
I’d like to allow only one active session per user. Is it recommended to call await authClient.revokeOtherSessions() right after login in Next.js, or is there a better way to handle this?
What if I want to allow only the last 2 active sessions (i.e., revoke all older ones but keep the most recent 2)? Is there a built-in option for this, or should I manually do it?...

Setting up better auth for a swim saas
Hi, I am in the process of piecing together a competitive swimming saas that is similar to TeamUnify, SwimTopia, Hy-Tek's Team manager, etc that will allow coaches to manage their teams, swimmers to see their stats, parents to sign their kids up for swim meets etc. I want to primarily focus on the coaches right now but set things up so that parents and swimmers can be added in the future.
This will basically be a multi-tenant app where the URL will look something like
/team/[teamId]/*. Coaches, swimmers, and parents can technically belong to multiple teams at once. For example, lets say a coach is the head coach for the High School swim team and head coach for the Club team in town. Along with that, a swimmer could be associated to those two swim teams along with their parents.
I know there's the organization plugin, but I wasn't sure if the organization would be the name of the SaaS or if it would be the same of the swim team. The reason I was unsure is it looks like organizations have teamId, and thought maybe that's what I should use for individual teams? However, I wasn't sure if a user could belong to multiple teamId within an organization or not. The ability to be associated with multiple teams at once is a huge need for this app to work....Customize UI for Screens provided by Better Auth
I am using React Router v7 and Better Auth and I just encountered this screen that shows an error while I am trying to link an account that already belongs to another user. I wanted to know if there is a way to create a custom ui for screens like this?
