To configure email verification and password reset flows in Better Auth, you enable the specific built-in options, define token expiry controls, and run migrations to validate the credential recovery workflows.

Yes, you can use a custom hashing algorithm for password storage in Better Auth by applying pluggable password hashing configurations to secure user credentials during sign-up and login operations.

The best way to enforce secure password policies for user logins is to define specific password requirements within your authentication configuration to validate credential strength and improve overall application security.

Token expiry for password reset workflows works by applying configurable time limits to the reset tokens, ensuring that expired verification links automatically invalidate to protect credential recovery operations.

Yes, you need database migrations to enable email and password authentication because running migrations validates the schema updates required to support sign-up, login, and email verification flows.

You enforce email verification for user sign-up flows to ensure valid user emails, prevent fake account creation, and maintain accurate credential security for email-based reset workflows.
