migrating from supabase auth how are passwords handled?

Hi, I'm using supabase auth currently and I'm wondering how the passwords are handled when migrating as supabase uses bcrypt to hash passwords but I believe better-auth uses scrypt? So how does that work? Do I need to support both bcrypt + scrypt such that when users login I'll need to check both bcrypt and scrypt and overtime only support scrypt once all (or most) users have signed in again?

I have different callbackURL for SignUp and SignIn. I can do it for normal email signIn and signUp, but cannot check if it is signUp or signIn for all sso sign-in/up. Is there any way to check if it is SignUp or SignIn? Thanks.
Solution:
You should be able to provide a newUserCallbackURL in the signIn.social method

Expo web doesn't retrieve the token

Hello 👋 I'm trying to use better-auth with expo on the web part. It is working great on the native part, but when trying to sign-in on the web part, it seems that the token is not retrieved. ...
Solution:
I have finally succeed to make it works. To complete what I have found, I think on the web the set-cookie from the response header should be enough to store the cookie, this is why the "setItem" is skipped on the web. But this should be documented IMO. ...

Hono + Better Auth NOT_FOUND Error on Auth Endpoints (e.g., /api/auth/sign-up)

Hey everyone, I'm setting up an authentication API using Hono.js, Better Auth, and Prisma with PostgreSQL. I've followed the recommended setup and folder structure. My Hono app mounts the authRouter (which handles Better Auth's auth.handler) at /api. So, endpoints like registration are accessed at /api/auth/sign-up....

ElysiaJS setup fail

I've tried betterAuth twice and always give up as I fail to get it working. I'm using Prisma ORM and just email and password for now, I've set up the betterAuth middleware (mount and macro) and added the catchAll routes under /auth/* Debugging shows me that the routes are being intercepted by betterAuth but nothing other than that happens, Generating the schema throws some long error I don't understand....

Google LinkSocial Additional Scopes

Hello! I am using Google Oauth as a provider and attempting to follow the documentation to allow users to add calendar scopes after the login, the below correctly adds scopes, but once a user logs in with the standard oauth again that overwrites the additional scopes. I've been trying to debug this for a bit but can't figure out if there is supposed to be standard better-auth management for this or if I need to add some hook to the database to make sure we don't overwrite the scopes. Tahnk you! ```{typescript}...

How to figure out if subscription is canceled on trial

One confusing aspect of subscription object is when a trial is canceled, it only shows trialing state rather than cancelled-trial or similar status which makes it hard to show a cancel or resume button since I don't know if user canceled their trial or not.
