Convex Better Auth User Management

Problem

Better Auth stores user data in Convex component tables that can't be accessed through normal Convex queries/mutations. When you need to manually verify a user's email, modify auth data, or debug authentication issues, standard approaches don't work.

Context / Trigger Conditions

• "Email not verified" error when trying to log in
• Need to bypass email verification in local development
• Can't send verification emails (no email service configured)
• Writing a mutation to access Better Auth tables fails with errors like:
  • "Identifier betterAuth:user has invalid character ':'"
  • "getComponentContext is not a function"
• Need to inspect or modify user, session, or account data
