@better-auth-agent[bot] commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2025):

Thanks for opening this issue! It sounds like you’re suggesting an enhancement to allow user accounts to be created with just an email or phone number initially––without a password––and then later enabling the user to set their password. This could be useful for smoother onboarding flows and to support scenarios where a temporary account is created and secured later.

We’re interested in exploring whether this could be implemented as a new endpoint or via a plugin. For your next steps, could you please share more details about your use case, especially around security requirements and the intended flow for setting the password later?

Tag @better-auth-agent if you would like an answer from the Agent.

It'd be nice to have this in the official admin plugin. I'm doing this rn by creating a custom plugin based off the official admin plugin link to the official plugin for reference

Hi, @AntonVishal. 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 to create user accounts initially with just an email or phone number, allowing passwords to be set later.
  • The maintainer expressed interest and asked for more details on security and password setup flow.
  • Another user mentioned they are implementing this via a custom plugin and suggested it would be beneficial to have this feature officially supported.
  • The issue remains unresolved with no recent updates or further details provided.

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 do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
