How can I use better-auth with external authentication api (jwt/bearer tokens)

Hi is there anyway I can use better-auth as way to manage session and page protection with a external api that manages login? My current backend responds with a jwt token (bearer token) after a successful login how can I use this with better auth? I used to use next auth but that gave me issues because it didn't worked with the above properly.

Better Auth is more of a full on auth framework than a session management tool I recommened checking iron session or something similar if your goal is just to manage sessions

Gotcha, ty just thought of better auth as it mentioned bearer tokens and jwt so I tried using it ngl iron session doesnt really have good docs never had to get frustrated over such a simple thing
