Congrats BetterAuth! It was the system I was considering before I rolled my own auth system around the passwordless concepts of: OTP + Passkeys + Google login. It is quite nice and simple and I've ported it to 3 separate projects now just via LLM:

If you are building a user system with a database already, adding passwordless auth is easy.

On one hand I love how much easier the email + OTP / passkey flow is on the dev side, I find it _very_ frustrating as a user of services. User+password combos are straightforward at least.
