Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Head over to https://www.better-auth.com/docs/authentication/email-password#request-password-reset

Current vs. Expected behavior

currently after the setup docs related to adding the sendResetPassword, an example is provided for the client-side to request a password reset

const { data, error } = await authClient.requestPasswordReset({
  email: "test@example.com",
  redirectTo: "/reset-password",
});

However, the function requestPasswordReset does not exist. Instead the function forgetPassword must be used.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.8

Provide environment information

- OS: MacOS Sequoia
- Browser: Brave

Closing this, I missed the version release and was on the older release. Sorry!
