Hi @iamsahebgiri! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The demo is returning an invalid_code error for social sign-in because no social providers are configured in your Better Auth setup. Social login (like Google, GitHub, etc.) requires you to explicitly add provider credentials (client ID, client secret, and correct redirect URIs) to your config—even in the demo environment. Without this, any attempt to sign in with a social provider will fail at the OAuth callback step, triggering errors like invalid_code or oauth_provider_not_found (source).

To enable social login, add a socialProviders section to your config. For example, to add Google:

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
export const auth = betterAuth({
  emailAndPassword: { enabled: true },
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
      // Optionally: scopes, redirectURI, etc.
    },
  },
});

Make sure your OAuth app's redirect URI matches exactly between your provider's dashboard, your Better Auth config, and the actual request. Common pitfalls that can also cause invalid_code include mismatched redirect URIs, missing or expired PKCE/code_verifier, or cookie/session issues between the auth request and callback (source).

Once you add the necessary provider configuration and credentials, social sign-in should work as expected.
