Better Auth

Everything we've built for auth on the web assumes two kinds of actors: a human user and a static application, with predefined scopes and known execution paths. Agents fit neither role. They act on behalf of a user or entirely on their own, call external services, discover tools at runtime, need one capability now and a different one later, and often run long after the human who started them has moved on. Agent Auth makes the runtime agent a first-class principal. Each agent is registered with its own identity, granted specific capabilities, and governed by a lifecycle the server controls. The server sees exactly which agent is acting, what it is authorized to do, and can terminate one without affecting anything else. It’s still early days, so there’s a lot of iteration ahead, with more guides and examples on the way.

Today we're announcing Agent Auth Protocol An open standard for agent authentication, capability based authorization and service discovery ⇃read more ⇂

Excited to announce @encoredotdev integrations It's never been easier to build better. Let Encore handle the infrastructure and better auth help you run auth in your own infra

@drgdfyi @convex Almost there 🫡

Kinda sad but it is starting to really hurt not having the latest better auth version with the convex component. Any plans getting that bumped from the pinned 2.4.9? @convex & @better_auth 🙏

The @unkeydev / @better_auth plugin is super nice. It’s created in such a way that you automatically use best practices when you want powerful api keys scoped to the user / orga. Including analytics Going to ship out next week with guides on building nice UX for keys.

@chyyynh soon actually 🫡

better-auth, better-fetch, better-call, better-icons, better-hub, better-hack, better-merch... as building software becomes easier we should build more and better-*

Asked specifically for "best" not "better"

We can now finally: - test with our auth on a localhost domain - setup preview deploys without needing to fork over more money - own our users table - remove our flaky webhook code - develop on airplane mode

we're working on something

Better Hack 2026 happened at Y Combinator! 1st place: civic (better-government 👀) 2nd place: better-cmdk 3rd place: binder (better-finder) Thanks to everyone who joined us - as hackers, guests, judges, and partners. We’re grateful to have built a lot of `better-*` together!
