  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There's an existing issue (#803) that was closed as not planned, but I'd like to bring this up again because it's still a real need. Right now, there's no easy way to verify a user's password.

Describe the solution you'd like

const verify = await auth.api.verifyPassword({
  password,
});

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually fetching the password hash from the db and verifying it

Additional context

Hi there, thanks for opening this issue on Better Auth. We acknowledge your request regarding an API function to verify a user's password. Currently, there isn’t a built-in function for password verification via the API, which is why many users end up manually fetching the password hash from the database and verifying it themselves [1].

One potential avenue could be to consider an enhancement where a dedicated function like auth.api.verifyPassword is provided. I'd recommend tagging @bekacru and @ping__ so that they can weigh in on whether this functionality might be added in a future release.

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

What practices have you found effective when handling password verification in your current setup?

If you need more help, tag @better-auth-agent in a comment so I can respond.
