Better Auth
Better Auth is an independent authentication and authorization framework for TypeScript. It offers a comprehensive set of features as it exits the box; advanced features such as two-factor authentication (2FA) or multiple tenant support can be added in a short time with little code. The goal is for the developer to focus on its original application instead of writing authentication from scratch; the project is licensed to MIT.
