Original Pull Request: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/8551

State: open
Merged: No

The revokeSessionsOnPasswordReset option was only referenced in the configuration table at the bottom of the Email & Password page. It was not mentioned in the Request Password Reset section where developers are most likely reading when implementing the flow.

This PR adds:

  • revokeSessionsOnPasswordReset: true to the server config code example in the password reset section

Without this option enabled, bad session can persist even after the legitimate user resets their password, which is a security concern and should be surfaced early in the docs.

Summary by cubic

Add a new “Revoking Sessions on Password Reset” subsection to the Email & Password docs. It clarifies that sessions aren’t revoked by default and shows how to enable revokeSessionsOnPasswordReset: true in the server config to revoke all sessions after a reset.

Written for commit 37e831be7c. Summary will update on new commits.
