Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a custom schema using the details provided in the documentation here
  2. Attempt to sign-in with a new social provider for an email that already exists in your user table
  3. Receive the following error: The field "idToken" does not exist in the "authAccount" schema

Current vs. Expected behavior

According the documentation here, there is no mention of any column/property idToken. When attempting to link an account, however, we are receiving the error The field "idToken" does not exist in the "authAccount" schema. This leads me to believe the documentation is out-of-date?

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.4
