Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Use the OTP plugin
  2. Create an account via OAuth, i.e. Google
  3. Sign out
  4. Attempt to reset password for the same email as the used social
  5. Network tab returns 200s, but no account is created via the reset password flow

Current vs. Expected behavior

As a form of account linking, when an email address was used via social sign up, a password reset flow should allow for account creation. Currently it doesn't do it for OTP password reset.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.3

Provide environment information

macOS Sonoma 14.5
