1.7.0 made both methods required on CustomAdapter and removed the factory fallback, so a custom adapter written for 1.6 type-checks against nothing and throws at request time on the first OTP, magic link, password reset, or two-factor attempt. Restore the fallbacks. consumeOne without a native implementation runs findOne then an id-guarded deleteMany and wins only when exactly one row was deleted. incrementOne runs a bounded compare-and-swap loop: findOne, then updateMany guarded on the id and the counter values just read, retried when a concurrent writer changed the row first. Both are single guarded statements per attempt, so they stay atomic across processes without transactions.
Better Auth
Better Auth is a framework-agnostic authentication (and authorization) framework for TypeScript. It provides a comprehensive set of features out of the box and includes a plugin ecosystem that simplifies adding advanced functionalities with minimal code in a short amount of time. Whether you need 2FA, multi-tenant support, or other complex features, it lets you focus on building your actual application instead of reinventing the wheel.
Why Better Auth
Authentication in the TypeScript ecosystem is a half-solved problem. Other open-source libraries often require a lot of additional code for anything beyond basic authentication. Rather than just pushing third-party services as the solution, I believe we can do better as a community—hence, Better Auth.
