Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Use a function such as authClient.twoFactor.disable and pass the password as a string under 8 characters.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Currently, the server responds with an internal server error stating that the password does not match validation.
It should return an error message and 401 code to suggest the password is incorrect.
Passwords 8+ characters which are entered do experience the expected behaviour, just passwords <8 character do not.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.8

Provide environment information

MacBook Pro M2 Max on Arc

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Client

Auth config (if applicable)
