About Descope

Descope is a developer-focused identity platform for building authentication, authorization, and user-management journeys. It combines visual workflow tools with SDKs and APIs so teams can create secure sign-up, login, MFA, SSO, account recovery, and identity-management experiences without implementing every flow manually. Descope Flows provide a drag-and-drop way to design user journeys across the frontend and backend. Teams can create screens, connect authentication actions, add conditions, customize branding, and change the experience without redeploying the application. Flows can support registration, login, password reset, invitations, identity verification, step-up authentication, and other post-login journeys. The platform supports a broad set of authentication methods, including one-time passwords, magic links, passkeys, social login, passwords, authenticator apps, SSO, recovery codes, device authentication, and WebAuthn-based flows. Teams can combine methods to create passwordless or multi-factor experiences and use adaptive logic to apply stronger verification when a login or sensitive action requires it. For B2B applications, Descope is built around multi-tenant identity workflows. It supports SAML and OIDC single sign-on, tenant-specific identity providers, SCIM provisioning, roles, delegated administration, and self-service configuration for customer administrators. These capabilities can help SaaS teams give each organization control over its members, access settings, and enterprise identity connections. Descope also provides user-management and authorization features for managing profiles, linked identities, roles, access keys, and fine-grained permissions. Developers can integrate the platform through client and backend SDKs, APIs, hosted experiences, or embedded interfaces, depending on how much control the application needs over sessions and the user interface. The platform can be useful for teams that want to reduce the amount of custom authentication code they maintain while still controlling the visual design and logic of identity journeys. It is particularly suited to applications that need passwordless authentication, configurable MFA, enterprise SSO, multi-tenancy, or workflow-based changes to onboarding and access experiences. Pricing and feature availability vary by plan, so teams should review Descope’s current documentation and pricing before selecting it for production.
