If you're on @better_auth, Chargebee is now a plugin away. Auth and billing, configured in one place. Customers, subscriptions, checkout, portal, webhooks. All handled. Docs → better-auth.com/docs/plugins/c…

evlog x @better_auth is here Your logs now know exactly who triggered each request. User info, session metadata, context... all there automatically. What this means: • No more manual user tagging • No more anonymous events • Full user context on every log • Zero extra code per endpoint Goes from "POST /api/checkout failed" to "John's checkout failed at 10:23 with session X" dub.sh/evlog/ba

The demo you're seeing is an agent registering with a service, placing an order - asking you to pay using your own credit card for specific amount (using stripe) - and later letting you claim its activities so you can track your order inside your account Will share more soon. We haven't talked about it much as we have a lot in the works

Initialize better-auth with one cmd ~ npx auth init

Better Auth v1.6 is here! This release is designed as a bridge version as we move toward a more predictable release cadence and prepare for the next big things we're building here at Better Auth. That said, v1.6 includes new features, improvements, and a number of meaningful fixes

AI agents need better auth! We've been building a lot of exciting things on how agents authenticate, get granular permissions, and act on behalf of users. Come find us at HumanX this week (April 7-9) - we'd love to show you what we're working on!

@tech_savvy_guy_ 👀

can someone please build a python alternative to @better_auth 🙏🏻

For people asking for better auth if you’re using better auth you don’t actually need to provision anything. You own your auth Run ‘npx auth init’ 🫡

Shipping w/ - @vercel - @GoogleDeepMind - @supabase - @better_auth - @sentry - @augmentcode People are cooking 👀

So we fixed this

Join @vercel and @GoogleDeepMind ... let's build agents 🫡 March 21st in a city near you 🧵

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 ⇂
