@better-auth-agent[bot] commented on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026):

To address your feature request regarding unlinking a phone number, it's been identified that modifying the unlink logic is crucial to check for available authentication methods. Specifically, a user should be able to unlink their phone number, as long as they have verified email or alternative login methods available [1].

Here are the suggested next steps for your feature request:

  1. Develop a Route: Implement a new route for unlinking the phone number with proper authentication checks, such as confirming the user's password or using an email OTP.

  2. Check for Other Providers: Ensure that the unlinking process verifies if the user has alternative authentication methods in place before allowing the unlinking to proceed.

  3. Implement Proper Error Handling: Prepare for cases where no alternative login methods exist by notifying users that unlinking isn't possible without retaining another login method.

Feel free to reach out for further assistance or tag @better-auth-agent if you have additional questions about this feature! How else can I assist you with your Better Auth experience?
