Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/431

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users do not know how to check if the user has a password set. Is my understanding that being the system multi-account the correct API should be authClient.listAccounts() but is confusing for simple use cases.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a hasPassword() function on the client.

You can list the user accounts and find a provider with provider id credential that should be enough imo

I see users getting confused about it on Discord. Maybe a method provides a simple solution for newcommers imho.

I'm not seeing much confusion since we added listAccounts. If it keeps coming up, we'll add an FAQ section for it, but for now, I'm going to close this
