BetterAuth
by Scrimchic
BetterAuth is a client-side Fabric utility that masks passwords and automates logins on saved servers, keeping authentication commands out of view.
What it does
BetterAuth hides sensitive authentication commands from the chat box and from the vanilla command suggestion popup, so a password typed for a server login is not displayed. Players can manage a list of saved servers, view or delete stored entries, and set up custom commands that mask specific servers. Auto-login and auto-saving can be toggled on or off as needed.
The mod targets players who log into servers that use password commands. Installation requires Fabric API alongside the mod. Only the client needs BetterAuth, so server owners do not have to add anything. Files exist for Fabric across 18 release versions, 1.16.2 – 1.21.8, and the latest file is for 1.21.8. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Masked authentication commands
Login and registration commands are hidden in the chat and kept out of the vanilla command suggestion popup.
Auto-login for saved servers
Saved servers can log the player in automatically, and the behavior can be turned off per toggle.
Saved server manager
A view lists saved servers, reveals stored passwords on request and lets the player delete individual entries.
Custom masking rules
Custom commands can be marked so that masking applies only to specific servers.
Translated interface
The interface is available in English, Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakh.

Use cases
Servers with password commands
Players on servers that ask for a password through chat can keep it hidden from the chat log and the suggestion popup.
Favorite servers
Players who return to the same few servers can rely on auto-login and a saved list to reconnect faster.
Who it’s for: Players who join password-protected servers on Fabric and want to keep their login commands out of view. Server owners do not need the mod.
How it compares
PasswordManager for AuthMe is also client-side and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.18.2 – 1.21.4 and is Fabric only. Autologin is client-side, covers only 1.21.11 and is not open source. Lyumix Discord Auth is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it runs on the server rather than in the player's client.
