Pretty much every site needs authentication. At first it may seem easy to implement, but as you start to add more advanced features it quickly gets out of hand. In this massive crash course on Better Auth I will be showing you everything you need to know to set up advanced authentication that includes email/password, password reset, email verification, OAuth, 2FA, passkeys, session management, account linking, admin functionality, organizations, and Stripe billing. This is the ultimate crash course on Better Auth.
