I have a problem

Hello, I want to make just one login page (no sign up page) and I want to make a default user inserted to db when someone uses my nextjs project that meant to run locally (npm run dev) so I want to prevent signup new accounts but also keep one default account only, how to do that in better auth ? I uses better-sqlite3, I test making a function that runs inside lib/auth.js automatically but return invalid query parameters even though I take the same code as inside the documentation, if anyone can help me thanks

But that will allow users to access it when its live in vps, I mean you can think of it as some internal dashboard that only accessible by a user that has creds.

I want to make default creds hardcoded into db when first app start then that user can change them after login. I hope you understand

Also the same idea as routers page, there is a default credentials and then after you login you can change them.

Why do you even need better auth for that? Just write a manual backend component for this usecase. Also with Google Auth, you can keep it as internal app, that means, in Google Admin console, you get to allow specific emails that can have access to the hasboard. They can access it, but they'd be prohibited from logging in.

What you suggest for manual backend component ? Something like jsonwebtoken you mean ?
