Problem

When GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (or the GitHub pair) are set, the login page renders the social buttons as plain links (login-page.ts#L579):

<a href="/api/auth/sign-in/social?provider=google&callbackURL=/auth/complete" class="btn-social btn-google">

A link click is a GET, but better-auth 1.4.18 registers /sign-in/social as POST-only. Nothing else answers a GET under /api/auth/*, so every click ends on a 404: the social buttons have never been able to start a sign-in. The same markup is in 0.7.0.

Turning a provider on also adds its button to every client's login page on that PDS, with no way for a client to say whether it wants it.

Fix

  1. The buttons POST. They render as <button type="button" class="btn-social btn-google" data-social-provider="google"> (and GitHub), keeping the .btn-social styling. One click handler in the page's existing <script> POSTs { provider, callbackURL: '/auth/complete' } to authBasePath + '/sign-in/social' (same origin, inside connect-src 'self') and follows the provider URL better-auth returns. On failure it shows the page's standard error flash. The button is disabled while the POST is in flight, since a second POST would replace the first one's OAuth state cookie, and is re-enabled on failure and on pageshow from the back/forward cache.

  2. Social buttons are opt-in per client. A provider's button renders only when the operator configured it and the client lists it in its client metadata, the same way epds_handle_login_url gates the ATProto/Bluesky button:

    { "epds_social_providers": ["google"] }

    So configuring Google on a shared PDS leaves every other client's login page unchanged. Because the buttons never worked before, no client loses a working sign-in.

No new endpoint or dependency, and the /auth/complete bridge is unchanged. The handler lives in the existing script block rather than an inline on* attribute, so it is compatible with #100 (nonce CSP).

Tested end to end with real Google

On a local 0.9.0 stack (74bae33c + this branch), with a real Google OAuth client in Testing mode and a real Google account:

  • The Google button sent POST /api/auth/sign-in/social and got 200. Google was asked to return to the registered redirect URI.
  • The OAuth state cookie survived the round trip (no SameSite problem), and the callback continued to /auth/complete.
  • Google first, then an emailed code for the same address: the same DID both times, one better-auth user linked to Google, emailConfirmed: true both times.
  • An OAuth client app (Silvi) received that DID both times and resolved it to a single user.

24 of 24 checks passed. The harness runs the real PDS, auth-service and a stand-in DID directory locally, so nothing reached plc.directory or any hosted instance.

Tests

  • New packages/auth-service/src/__tests__/login-page-social-buttons.test.ts. It checks the markup (no /sign-in/social?provider= link left) and runs the page's real inline script in a node:vm context against a small stand-in DOM to click the buttons: the POST body and URL, location.assign with the returned URL, the in-flight double-click guard, the error flash and re-enable after a non-2xx, a response without url, a network error, and the bfcache re-enable. It also covers the opt-in: no buttons without epds_social_providers, only the listed providers, and unknown or non-array values ignored.
  • The assertions in social-providers.test.ts that described a GET link now describe the POST.
  • pnpm format:check, pnpm lint and pnpm typecheck are clean. pnpm test:coverage passes: 81 files and 1213 tests, coverage 61.7 / 60.96 / 74.39 / 60.5 against floors 61 / 60 / 74 / 60.

Docs and changeset

  • docs/tutorial.md gets an "Optional: offer Google or GitHub sign-in" section next to the Bluesky one. docs/configuration.md notes the per-client opt-in.
  • Changeset (patch), Affects: End users, Client app developers, Operators. Branding CSS that targeted a.btn-google / a.btn-github should target .btn-google / .btn-github.

Follow-up

#260, stacked on this one, makes social sign-in safer to switch on: strict email_verified, trusting Google's email only where Google is authoritative (Gmail and Workspace), no account or session for an unverified email, and errors returned to the login page.

The login page rendered the social buttons as links to
/api/auth/sign-in/social?provider=...&callbackURL=/auth/complete. A link
click is a GET, but better-auth 1.4.18 registers /sign-in/social as
POST-only, so every click ended on a 404 and the buttons could never start
a sign-in on an instance with GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/SECRET or
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID/SECRET set.

Render them as <button type="button" data-social-provider="google|github">
and add one click handler to the existing page script: it POSTs
{ provider, callbackURL: '/auth/complete' } to authBasePath +
'/sign-in/social' (same origin, so already inside connect-src 'self') and
follows the provider URL better-auth returns. On any failure it shows the
page's standard error flash and re-enables the button. The button stays
disabled while the POST is in flight, because a second POST would replace
the first one's OAuth state cookie, and is re-enabled when the page comes
back from the back/forward cache.

No new endpoint, configuration or dependency; /auth/complete is unchanged.

Tests: new login-page-social-buttons.test.ts runs the page's real inline
script in a node:vm context against a stand-in DOM and clicks the buttons
(all 10 cases fail against main). The documentation-style assertions in
social-providers.test.ts that still described a GET link now describe the
POST.

A provider's button now renders only when the operator configured it and
the OAuth client lists it in epds_social_providers, the same way
epds_handle_login_url gates the ATProto/Bluesky button. Configuring Google
on a shared PDS therefore leaves the login page of every other client
unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

The login page now renders Google and GitHub buttons only when the client opts in and the provider is configured. Button clicks use POST requests, validate the returned authorization URL, and share a sign-in concurrency guard with email, OTP, resend, and handle flows.

Provider buttons POST the provider and /auth/complete callback URL. The page validates returned HTTPS provider URLs, navigates on success, and displays an error on failure.

A shared guard prevents concurrent social, email, OTP, resend, and handle attempts. Failure paths release the guard, successful navigation retains it, and BFCache restoration resets it.

The login page script assigned window.location to whatever URL
/sign-in/social returned. Follow it only when it is an https URL whose
origin is that provider's authorization server (accounts.google.com for
Google, github.com for GitHub); any other response shows the standard
"Could not start sign-in" error and re-enables the button.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The social buttons only disabled the button that was clicked, so a click
on the other provider, an email code send, a verify or a handle hand-off
could start while the first sign-in was still in flight; a second
/sign-in/social replaces the first one's OAuth state.

One page-wide guard now covers the social buttons, sending and resending
an email code, verifying it, and the ATProto/Bluesky handle hand-off.
Each handler claims it before starting a request, releases it when the
attempt fails, and keeps it while the page navigates away. Sending a code
releases it once the code is sent, so the verify that follows can run.
The verify form's own double-submit latch is folded into it. A page
restored from the back/forward cache releases it.

The login page script harness moves to __tests__/__helpers__ so the new
guard tests and the social button tests share it.

Also tell end users that only one sign-in runs at a time.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The sign-in guard and social button tests rendered the page with the same
option block; it now lives next to the script harness.

i think we should include the email otp button here as well. otherwise it remains clickable but without any function

@Ashex thanks, both done:

  • One guard for every sign-in (8c218b3): Google, the email code (send, resend, verify) and the ATProto/Bluesky hand-off all claim one guard before starting a request, not just via disabled buttons. It's released on a recoverable failure, held while the page navigates away, and released on a back/forward-cache restore. login-page-sign-in-guard.test.ts runs the real page script against every pair of methods.
  • Re-verification on fix(auth): make social sign-in safe to switch on (verified emails only, errors back to the login page) #260 (9096f04): you were right, the user.update hook treated any emailVerified: true write as a first verification and dropped sessions. The hook is gone, since there was nothing to repair, and a new test proves /email-otp/verify-email on an already-verified user keeps the Google session and link.
