Authentication
Better Auth is a modern, framework-agnostic, type-safe authentication library designed for full-stack JavaScript and TypeScript applications. It provides a comprehensive authentication solution with support for OAuth providers, email/password authentication, magic links, multi-factor authentication, and session management with a developer-first API. Key features include full type safety with TypeScript inference, framework-agnostic design working with React, Next.js, SvelteKit, and others, database adapters for multiple backends, email verification, password reset flows, and built-in security protections including CSRF and rate limiting. Primary use cases include SaaS applications, membership platforms, internal tools, and any full-stack app needing production-ready authentication. Compared to Auth.js (formerly NextAuth.js, which is Next.js-centric) or proprietary solutions like Auth0 (hosted, per-user pricing), Better Auth offers open-source self-hosted authentication with broader framework support and more granular control over auth flows.
