About Better Auth
Better Auth is an open source authentication framework for TypeScript apps. It runs inside your own application, so you keep control of the login code and your user data.
What it does
You configure Better Auth in a TypeScript file, turn on the login methods you want, and add plugins for features such as two-factor authentication, passkeys or organizations. Users and sessions are stored in your own database. The framework works with common stacks such as Next.js, Nuxt and SvelteKit.
