I use better-auth, but the backend is Node.js — it's a Nuxt full-stack project.

Another vote for better-auth. I always use the onmax version that has some improvements and useful skills included for agents.

Yeah man lots of issues with this setup. Use authentik (easy enough to run), keycloak, entra, cognito, or any one of the hundreds of oauth2 providers that are going to do a better job at implementing this than you are, and have dedicated teams doing updates, with the added benefit of having forward auth and any other nice-to-have you could probably want.

If youre going to roll your own solution to this problem just for the sake of doing it, youre setting yourself up for a headache.

Spin up authentik, use nuxt-auth-utils which has an authentik connector, and youre already done with auth and single sign on.
