Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Currently, signing into an app using Google OAuth just opens a browser tab, which just isn't as smooth of an experience for the end user. A more native feel would be amazing, such as the screenshot above (not using Google One Tab) which just opens a small modal:

Describe the solution you'd like

Being able to choose between the current behaviour (opening a browser tab to sign in) and a more native way using Google Identity would be great. Preferably for more providers than just Google, as Facebook supports something similar.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, just Google support would be great to start with, but with the possibility of more providers following!

Hi, @mezotv. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary

  • You requested adding support for a native account popup for Google OAuth sign-in, such as Google One Tap or Identity Services.
  • The goal is to enable a smoother, modal-based login experience instead of opening a browser tab.
  • You suggested offering an option to choose between the current method and the native popup, with potential future support for other providers like Facebook.
  • You provided references for implementing Google One Tap in React Native.
  • There has been no further activity or maintainer responses on this issue.

Next Steps

  • Please let me know if this feature request is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting on this issue.
  • If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

Hey sorry if I got the wrong idea here, but doesn't our one-tap plugin do this?
