Descope

Descope is a developer-friendly, drag-and-drop customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform that enables engineering and security teams to build, customize, and maintain secure user authentication and authorization flows without writing custom authentication code. Utilizing an intuitive visual workflow builder, Descope allows developers to create seamless user login, signup, onboarding, and multi-factor authentication journeys with frictionless drag-and-drop ease. The platform provides comprehensive out-of-the-box support for passwordless authentication methods—including passkeys (FIDO2/WebAuthn), magic links, biometric authentication, SMS/WhatsApp one-time passwords, and authenticator apps (TOTP)—along with enterprise SSO protocols like SAML and OIDC. Descope features built-in fraud prevention and bot mitigation tools, analyzing contextual signals such as device fingerprints, IP reputation, and behavioral biometrics to enforce adaptive authentication and block credential stuffing and brute force attacks. Descope SDKs and APIs for web and mobile frameworks (including React, Next.js, Flutter, and iOS) allow developers to embed authentication flows into their user interfaces in minutes. By decoupling identity management from application source code, Descope accelerates engineering velocity, reduces friction for end users, and hardens application security against identity threats.
