Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/803

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, I cannot verify the password on the server side to authenticate actions. For example, "Enter your password to delete this item".

Describe the solution you'd like

const isCorrect: boolean = await auth.api.verifyPassword({
    password,
});

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually getting the data from the database and verifying it. This is somewhat hacky and I would not prefer it.

@JE4GLE commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2024):

Nice would be an option to add it as a password entry try to limit requests. For example:

const isCorrect: boolean = await auth.api.verifyPassword({
    password,
    limited: true
});

With limited having false as a default value.

you can use the ctx api (which isn't documented yet)

const ctx = await auth.$context;
await ctx.password.verify({password: "", hash: ""});

It should be documented soon

Hey @Bekacru, any chance we could still get something like auth.api.verifyPassword?
