To configure Better Auth for email/password and OAuth, you define authentication methods in the core configuration object. This framework supports multiple social providers alongside traditional login for flexible user authentication.

The best way to manage sessions in Better Auth involves using built-in database adapters and configuring cookie caching strategies. Proper session management ensures secure persistent user authentication across requests.

Better Auth supports various database adapters to integrate your preferred storage backend. Configuring these adapters correctly is crucial for storing user, account, and session data reliably within your application.

Implementing rate limiting and security hooks in Better Auth requires configuring built-in security measures and leveraging hooks for custom logic. This protects authentication endpoints from abuse and enables custom verification flows.

Common integration gotchas with Better Auth often involve missing environment variables or incorrect database adapter configuration. Reviewing core settings and email flows carefully prevents most standard setup errors.
