Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Go to https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/plugins (or the corresponding source code file).

Current vs. Expected behavior

In the Plugins documentation (https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/plugins) it reads:

It implements things like `__secure` prefix and `__host` prefix for cookies based on

The sentence ends early and does not go on to explain what the decision logic is behind the prefixes. I would fix it but I am currently stuck on figuring out this decision logic myself so I am clueless.

@JeffreyLind3 commented on GitHub (Sep 25, 2025):

p.s. some documentation on createAuthCookie would be incredible but ofc out of scope of this issue. I feel this is the root of the solution to my issue (I'm having to be super strict with cookies as I am building a HIPAA-compliant auth system, so need to explicitly set __Host cookie prefix), but have to dig through Better Auth's source code to determine what it does / how to use it.
