Verify TOTP before resetPassword

I use SvelteKit and have applied BetterAuth's API calls server-side. I'm using a SvelteCookie plugin to ensure these are passed to the client. I want to solve for this use case: User signs up, verifies their email and sets up 2FA TOTP. Later, they want to reset their password. How do I ensure their TOTP is checked before they can trigger requestPasswordReset? ...

Cookie do not return on server (Hono)

Hi everyone, I've been working on an experimental project that combines React Router v7 (using framework mode) with Better Auth. For the backend, I'm using Hono along with the react-router-hono-server package. The login flow works fine, and I can successfully retrieve the user's session on a protected page via React Router. However, when I try to access the session inside a Hono middleware, it’s not available. Am I missing something in the setup or configuration? For context, here are the headers returned from the React Router loader compared to those in the Hono middleware:...

Reusing Emails (soft delete feat)

hello everybody, I’m working on a project using BetterAuth and I have a question about handling soft-deleted users. In my setup, I have a users module and I’m creating users using the auth.api.signup method (with email/password). I’ve also implemented soft deletion by just toggling a boolean field — if deleted = true, the user is considered deleted. ...

Solution:

Yes it's still considered taken as Better-auth doesn't know that you have a soft-delete feature. We plan to support soft-delete in the future. In the mean time, I recommend modifying the existing soft-deleted user's email to have a suffix/prefix of some sort so that the email slot opens up for other users to sign up with....

When calling auth.api.signInMagicLink a new user will be created, if no user is associated with the used email, but this does not create an account. Is there a way to link this with the email provider? Running auth.api.SignUpEmail does not work, since the user already exists....

Handling OAuth sign-ins, signing up later

Hey y'all, what is the best/idiomatic way to sign a user in through Google OAuth, quickly verify if they're on a whitelist for example, and either redirect (not creating a user) if not, or proceed with signup? Getting signup_disabled when using disableImplicitSignUp

Need help for my Next.js Frontend + Hono Backend

I am implementing a Next.js frontend and a Hono BetterAuth backend server. In my Next.js frontend, I will use the authClient.signIn.email() function in client component. However, after the signin request is made, the authClient does not automatically store the session data. What is the appropriate implementation for this stack?...

Solution:

Yes. But it has been solved by configuring the CORS domain properly in Hono. Thanks!
