To configure Better Auth for email/password and OAuth in a TypeScript app, you need to define core configuration options for user and account handling, set up environment variables, and initialize the client to ensure type safety across your authentication flow.

Best practices for Better Auth session management and security involve configuring core session options, utilizing built-in security settings, and implementing hooks to manage user events safely and maintain type-safe authentication states across sessions.

Adding magic links and plugins to your Better Auth integration requires installing the necessary plugins via CLI commands and configuring them within your core config to handle email-based authentication and extend framework functionality.

Better Auth fully supports TypeScript-first type safety for authentication flows by providing strongly typed client and server configurations, ensuring that your user, account, and session management implementations are strictly validated.

Setting up Better Auth requires defining specific environment variables for OAuth providers and email services, alongside running CLI commands to initialize the framework and generate the necessary database schemas.

You should use Better Auth hooks for user and account configuration when you need to execute custom logic during authentication events, allowing you to intercept and modify data for security checks or synchronized profile updates.
