Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1852

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a backend using Better Auth with MongoDB.
  2. Implement a frontend and attempt to sign up a user with authClient.signUp.email().
  3. The error occurs:
    TypeScript throws an error stating that name is missing but still required.
    However, name is also marked as deprecated, creating a conflict.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current Behavior:

  • TypeScript enforces name as a required field.
  • However, name is marked deprecated, making it unclear how to proceed.

Expected Behavior:

  • Either name should not be required, or
  • The deprecation warning should be removed if it's still needed.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2

Provide environment information

OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
Framework: Next.js

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend, Client, Types, Package

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
export const auth = betterAuth({
  emailAndPassword: {  
    enabled: true
  },
});

Additional context

  • The issue occurs both locally and online.
  • It is unclear how to proceed since the name field is both required and deprecated at the same time.
  • Any workaround suggestions would be helpful.

@ping-maxwell commented on GitHub (Mar 21, 2025):

Name is not deprecated. It's likely you're seeing the default name value from the web, which is marked as deprecated:

Just provide a name value and you'll be fine.
