how can i prevent discord auth to automatically create new accounts?

basically i want the user to be able to sign in with discord only after he linked his discord account

Solution:

haven't tried it but seems like you just set it to false and it does what you want

    discord: {
      clientId: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
      disableImplicitSignUp: true,
      disableSignUp: true,
    },

    discord: {
      clientId: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
      disableImplicitSignUp: true,
      disableSignUp: true,
    },

Isn't signing up with discord technically linking their discord account?

so here's what i want to do

can't you just make it when they signup with discord that discord is then "linked" however you define that to their account whether that be storing something in the database

the user can opt to login with discord or email:pass but in order to login with discord they have to link it first cuz i want to have all base accounts as credentials i want to disallow discord sign ups that's the thing and for some reasons

  const signInWithDiscord = async () => {
    await authClient.signIn.social({
      provider: "discord",
      callbackURL: "/dashboard",
      requestSignUp: false,
    });
  };

  const signInWithDiscord = async () => {
    await authClient.signIn.social({
      provider: "discord",
      callbackURL: "/dashboard",
      requestSignUp: false,
    });
  };

this is creating a new user account if betterauth doesn't find any account with that discord id OH

it seems that i had something cached in incognito??

WiFi Plug•3mo ago

ah maybe or maybe your dev server didnt reload or something

davidOP•3mo ago

no still doesn't work wtf oh i found an issue if a user has his email the same with discord it will link his account directly tf

WiFi Plug•3mo ago

Yeah that's generally preferred for most sites so they can login with either one as long as it's the same email

davidOP•3mo ago

and is there any way to disable that?
