Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

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

So right now there's no real open source solution to implement Steam authorization. (idk maybe there is, but i couldnt find it)

And with better-auth team it will be really easy to do so.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have a steam social provider that i can just provide in auth config and it will work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

-

Additional context

For example there's a website using steam auth: https://skin.club/en

I did a bit research on this topic, and there's some issue, steam does not support oauth2 as of now, its deprecated.

I may be wrong, but this library should make the work easier when dealing with OpenID for an oauth2 authentification.

Hi, @Fesyse. 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 new Steam social provider for better-auth due to the lack of straightforward open-source Steam authorization solutions.
  • You clarified that Steam does not support OAuth2 anymore as it is deprecated.
  • I suggested using the oidc-provider library to enable OpenID-based authentication as a potential workaround.
  • Another user showed interest in integrating this approach with better-auth.
  • The issue remains unresolved with no recent updates or progress.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting here.
  • If I don’t hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
