Better Auth The most comprehensive authentication library for TypeScript Learn more » Discord · Website · Issues ImportantNote: 🚧 This project is currently in beta. Features and APIs may change. About the Project Better Auth is framework-agnostic authentication (and authorization) library for TypeScript. It provides a comprehensive set of features out of the box and includes a plugin ecosystem that simplifies adding advanced functionalities with minimal code in short amount of time. Whether you need 2FA, multi-tenant support, or other complex features. It lets you focus on building your actual application instead of reinventing the wheel. Why Better Auth Authentication in the TypeScript ecosystem is a half-solved problem. Other open-source libraries often requires a lot of additional code for anything beyond basic authentication. Rather than just pushing third-party services as the solution, I believe we can do better as a community—hence, Better Auth. Goals Be Comprehensive: Save users from reinventing the wheel for anything related auth. Prioritize Best Practices: provide best practices rather than overwhelming configuration options. Framework Agnostic: Support most frameworks and avoid framework specific features and solutions if possible. Consistency: Provide a consistent and predictable API across all platforms Type Safety: Value type-safety and embrace typescript magic when necessary. Non-Goals JWT-Based Authentication: We won’t support JWT-based auth unless provided by a third-party plugin. Extensive Customization: Our focus is on giving you opinionated, best-practice defaults, rather than enabling deep customization.
