Better Auth is joining Vercel.
Vercel shares our commitment to keeping auth open source, framework and platform agnostic. Joining forces gives us more resources and room to focus on building the framework that much of the community relies on.
Together, we’ll also be able to invest more deeply in where auth is heading: a future where agents act on users’ behalf and need secure, scoped, and revocable access.
AI agents need better auth!
We've been building a lot of exciting things on how agents authenticate, get granular permissions, and act on behalf of users.
Come find us at HumanX this week (April 7-9) - we'd love to show you what we're working on!
Excited to announce @encoredotdev integrations
It's never been easier to build better. Let Encore handle the infrastructure and better auth help you run auth in your own infra
Encore now integrates with @better_auth - the easiest way to build auth, meets the easiest way to build your backend.

Better Hack 2026 happened at Y Combinator!
1st place: civic (better-government 👀)
2nd place: better-cmdk
3rd place: binder (better-finder)
Thanks to everyone who joined us - as hackers, guests, judges, and partners. We’re grateful to have built a lot of `better-*` together!
We're improving our expo integration for the coming releases to make Better Auth the best expereince to implement auth on your mobile apps!
agi as a better-auth plugin! who's building this 👀
Randomly came across this launch on Hacker News, and when I checked their docs they already had a plugin for Better Auth. This is a user feedback platform.
The Better Auth plugin ecosystem is expanding rapidly far beyond auth. When you build extensible system where the core primitive is a user identity a lot of abstractions become dramatically simpler
This will be one of our biggest investments next year :) pushing the plugin model even further and making Better Auth extensible well beyond auth
For all providers we don't support under "social" providers, we now export a generic oauth config
Keycloak is one of them
If you’ve been wanting to migrate from @authjs to Better Auth with a database-less setup, 1.4 finally makes it possible!
