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

Currently, when linking a social account using linkSocial, it's possible to customize the scopes dynamically, but it's not possible to modify the provider options such as accessType or prompt.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be very useful to be able to dynamically set these parameters when linking a social account, just like we can with scopes.

Example

await authClient.linkSocial({
  provider: "google",
  callbackURL: "/",
  scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage"],
  options: {
    accessType: "offline",
    prompt: "consent",
}});

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Create a custom OAuth provider with different default options for the same service (e.g., a second Google provider configuration).
  • Always apply accessType: offline and prompt: consent for all users (not ideal for all flows).
  • Stop using Better-Auth and implement a fully custom OAuth linking endpoint.

Hi, @durdenx. 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 the ability to dynamically set social provider options like accessType and prompt during social account linking via linkSocial.
  • Currently, only scopes can be customized, and you suggested adding an options parameter for more flexible provider-specific settings.
  • Several users, including arthberman and chrisdadev13, have shown support for this feature.
  • Another user, w8flash, asked about updates on the implementation.
  • No maintainers have provided updates or plans regarding this feature yet.

Next Steps:

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

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
