FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Better Auth for OAuth 2.1 and OIDC authentication?

PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) secures OAuth flows for public clients by dynamically verifying code challenges. You need PKCE in Better Auth to prevent authorization code interception attacks when implementing SSO in browser-based or mobile applications without a secure backend secret.

Does Better Auth support JWKS token verification and SSO across multiple apps?

Yes, you can use Better Auth to implement centralized authentication for multiple apps. It supports admin-style client registration and token management, enabling scalable SSO across your platform while managing PKCE flows and JWKS verification for each connected application.

What's the best way to set up PKCE flows and JWKS verification in a Next.js app?

The best way to set up PKCE and JWKS verification in Next.js is using Better Auth to configure the OIDC provider. Follow the references to implement PKCE for public clients, verify JWKS tokens, and test the end-to-end authentication flow.

Can I manage admin client registration and email verification with Better Auth?

Yes, Better Auth includes optional email verification and admin-style client registration for multi-app ecosystems. You can manage client credentials and token lifecycles centrally while enforcing email verification during the OAuth 2.1 authentication flow.
