Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

try to do this:

authClient.signIn
              .passkey({
                autoFill: true,
                callbackURL: '/',
              })

it says: 'callbackURL' does not exist in type ...

Current vs. Expected behavior

According to https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/passkey#api-method-sign-in-passkey it should be available. Looks like a bug.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.8

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Sep 7, 2025):

This is a confirmed bug: the callbackURL option is missing from the passkey sign-in method's types and implementation in Better Auth v1.3.8, even though the documentation claims it should be available. That's why you're seeing the TypeScript error—callbackURL isn't recognized by the method or its types source.

For now, you’ll need to handle redirects manually after a successful passkey sign-in. You can do this by checking the result and using your router or window.location to navigate:

const result = await authClient.signIn.passkey({ autoFill: true });
if (result?.data?.session) {
  // Redirect manually
  window.location.href = '/';
}

Other sign-in methods (like email or social) support callbackURL because it's explicitly defined in their types and passed to the backend, but this pattern is missing for passkey sign-in source.

There’s no official workaround or config for passkey redirects in this version. If you need more advanced redirect logic, consider using a handler page after sign-in, but you’ll have to trigger it manually until callbackURL is supported in the API.

Let me know if you need help with manual redirect patterns or want to track updates on this bug!
