Hi, @jinsley8. 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 a feature for an Expo mobile app to enable login via username using Email OTP.
  • The system would verify the username and send the OTP to the linked email address.
  • You want the option to log in using either email or username.
  • No alternative solutions or further discussion have been provided yet.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this feature is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting on this issue.
  • If I don’t hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
