Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think currently its not possible to opt out to saving ip addresses. I think in the EU you would have to disclose this, as we are storing it in direct relation to the user object, which make the ip address personal data

Describe the solution you'd like

easy boolean to opt out.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One problem I am seeing is rate limiting, throttling I guess, not sure how to deal with that, maybe you just dont have it then

Additional context

No response

I think you can do the following already based on the source code:

https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/main/packages/better-auth/src/utils/get-request-ip.ts#L8

export const auth = betterAuth({
	database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
		provider: "postgresql",
	}),
	emailAndPassword: {
		enabled: true,
		autoSignIn: false,
	},
	plugins: [nextCookies()],
+	advanced: {
+		ipAddress: {
+			disableIpTracking: true,
+		},
+	},
});

Ah, you're right. Then this issue should more be about documenting this, as I havent found anything in the docs regarding this. Especially around the consequences this has for me
