Cleanup of expired organization invites
Hi, I've noticed that there are a few places where better-auth generates records e.g. organization invites where they expire. How does better-auth go about cleaning up expired records when they're created?
Get Members of an Organization
hey, could someone explain what this function does? https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#get-active-member

Microsoft login not working
Might be being mega dumb here but I have followed the docs and trying to have just a Microsoft login. Clicking my "Login with Microsoft" button just loops me from /login back to /login? and the only thing that happens in my DB is a record created in the Verification table.
Why wouldnt this be signing me in or creating me as a user?...
membershipLimit for Organizations
Hi, I can see that it's possible to set a limit for team members but is this possible for Organizations?
Solution:
You might have it the wrong way around, we have a
membershipLimit, but no team member limitSession Not Persisting in Production (Docker) After Social Login
Hi,
The authentication flow using better-auth and social login works perfectly on localhost. When I log in with a social account, the session is correctly created in the database, and the user appears as logged in on the site.
However, when I run the same setup in production inside Docker, the session is still created in the database, but the user does not appear as logged in on the website. It's like the session is not being recognized properly in production.

Reusing Captcha token on signin/signup
Basically, I mount the Turnstile captcha once and if the user needs to sign in again (due to e.g. incorrect password), the captcha verification fails (which makes sense since the captcha token already got used)
Is there a way to perhaps issue a “captcha session” token which lasts for an hour or so, allowing the user to not have to do the captcha again?...
Infer type before initializing betterAuth
I'm trying to create a class that to migrate our system to betterAuth, while keeping the current system in place for the time being.
I know what plugins are going to be enabled, but things like database password, appName and others will be passed in via configuration options
How do I correctly define the type for the authInstance so that I have access to all the plugins?...

how to pass extra data to sign in functions

Possibly dumb question but for the admin plugin is there an elegant way to create the first admin in your app. I know you can 1. manually go check their id then add it to the better auth adminUserIds setting or 2. sign them up on db bootup and write a query in your db of choice to change their role, but 1. requires you to patch the code right after you just deployed it and 2. brakes the nice db encapsulation better auth has going on. Neither are bad options, but it feels off. Like I'm potential...
Solution:
update:
```
const newUser = await auth.api.createUser({
body: {...

UUID Confusion with database orm
Hi I just recently switched from Prisma-orm to Drizzle-orm in the project that I am working on. Having a bit of issue where my user table doesn't seem to understand the uuid coming from my sign-up form. Curious to see if anyone knew exactly what I have done wrong?
Solution:
Yes this is completely fine. If you want the old way where your DB handles ID generation, you can disable Better-Auth's ID generation by passing
advanced.database.generateId as false in your auth config.Full access from a microservice

How to Get User after SignUp with Hooks when requireEmailVerification is true
For some reasons, since email verification is required after sign up, I couldnt get user context in the hook.
With the After hook, I populated some modeled data to the database after sign up. But since email verification is required to get a session Im kind of stuck. All I need is the user.id after the signup. And this Id is sent as a response to the user after sign up.
from the Middlewarecontext i am able to get a request body, Is it possible to get a response? Or is there a way to go around this to get a UserID after they signUp from middleware? Or Do I have to do something else?...
