How to debug addPasskey not working in Production (Vercel)?
Having configured the
passkey plugin, I can add a passkey locally/development but not in production (Vercel).
I'm using a simple button in NextJS to trigger adding a passkey:
```
const { data, error } = await authClient.passkey.addPasskey();...Solution:
I managed to resolve this. I had the value for
rpID wrongly configured. 🤦
It was set to api.mysite.com rather than mysite.com.
A [Fido2Client] Error in the Chrome console alerted me to the issue....FAILED_TO_CREATE_USER
How can I debug, whats going on? I dont see anything in console
Solution:
Usually we need

Manually create a session
Hi, for testing purposes I want to create a session in my own controller, and set the right cookies. Although, it seems like the sesison token has to be in a certain structure. Has anyone got a better idea on how I can implement this?
The cookie names do match, I am using NextJS so I would need a backend approach to create the sessions.
```ts
// Create or get the test user...

Password not updating on resetPassword
Hi,
I have been trying out better-auth with Elysia + SurrealDB (W/ Featured Community Adapter on Better Auth Site) + SvelteKit (SSG-only) and so far everything has worked out but I have started to face a weird issue related to the forget/reset password flow that I haven't been able to exactly pin down.
I have been able to reach at the point where I am able to redirect the user to a proper page to reset the password, where I have them fill out a form, which when submitted, calls ...
Solution:
for now i just built the patched package, added it to my application, and tried the flow, and it has worked correctly

How to Force Email-OTP Plugin to Use Redis Instead of PostgreSQL
In my Next.js project, I'm using the
email-otp plugin for authentication. The primary database is PostgreSQL, and Redis is set up as a secondary storage. I assumed that sessions and OTP verification would be handled through Redis.
However, when attempting to send an OTP, I get this error:
```...Image not updating when using genericOAuth client.oauth2.link
When I sign up a new user with
client.signIn.oauth2 the user info I get from my OAuth provider contains a image parameter that goes into my user image field in my db.
But when I try linking an existing user using client.oauth2.link the user info I get from my OAuth provider still contains a image parameter but that info never gets updated in my user image field in my db.

SolidJS useSession hook - refetch
I'm trying to use the solidjs hook for the store of the useSession hook and got everything working in terms of loading user data in etc, only thing i want to to is force a refetch of the session and noticed when debugging there is a refetch method attached to the hook but it's not declared in the types ie
...
const session = authClient.useSession();
await session().refetch();
const session = authClient.useSession();
await session().refetch();
Solution:
yeah it's intended

Multiple roles per user in Admin plugin
Hello,
I'm trying to create an app using NextJS. I'm using Better-Auth with the admin plugin which seems good enough for what I need. However, I want to be able to provide users with different roles, but having multiple roles, e.g. Accounts, Sales etc. Using just the Admin plugin, how can I assign multiple roles to a user. I don't really want to use the organisation plugin, as I don't need that complexity just for multiple roles.
Thanks!...
