Showing false errors

[AyushBadola22]

Type: Bug

NOTE : CODE IN THE FILE IS ATTACHED IN THE MARKDOWN AT THE LAST

Hey I am not sure if I need to share my whole project or just this file is enough .
Anyway here is the short explaination ->

This file is the Options file for next js authentication. I am using credentials method.
In my project I have used type any at many places and to follow best practices I wanted to change them.
In the options.ts file the authorize method gives me some error that type of credentials doesn't match even though its matching. I spend a lot of time just to see where it went wrong.

Then chatgpt recommended me to run npm run lint which will show the potential errors.
All the errors in there is not from this file and when I locally ran the code npm run dev , the login functionality is working fine.

But still the authorize function is giving me errors in vs code.

I don't want that in future same thing repeats as I spend my energy only to find out in actual there were no errors.
Note : I already matched the typescript versions of the project and vs code to avoid any conflictions.

`Options.ts` file code - dropdown

import { NextAuthOptions } from "next-auth";
import CredentialsProvider from "next-auth/providers/credentials";
import bcrypt from  "bcryptjs";
import dbConnect from "@/lib/dbConnect";
import UserModel, { User } from "@/model/User";

export const authOptions : NextAuthOptions = {
    providers: [

                identifier : {label : "Email or Username", type : "text"}, 
                password : { label : "Password", type : "password"} , 
            }, 
            async authorize(credentials?: Record<"identifier" | "password", string> | undefined) : Promise<User | null>{
                if(!credentials) return null;
