About Descope
Descope is a customer identity and access management platform designed to help developers build secure authentication and identity experiences. Its no-code and low-code approach allows teams to create identity workflows for customers, partners, applications and AI agents. Descope supports passwordless authentication, passkeys, one-time passwords, SSO, MFA, WebAuthn, social login and other authentication methods. The platform also provides authorization, user management and identity federation capabilities. Visual workflows allow developers to customize signup, login, verification and step-up authentication journeys without building every component from scratch. Descope also supports enterprise requirements such as SAML SSO, OpenID Connect and SCIM provisioning. Its current platform extends identity workflows to agentic identities and MCP servers, reflecting the growing need to govern non-human identities that interact with applications and APIs. Its primary audience includes SaaS companies, digital product teams and enterprises that need secure identity experiences without creating a large custom authentication stack. Descope combines developer-focused implementation with enterprise security controls, helping organizations reduce account takeover risk and improve user onboarding while maintaining flexible authentication and authorization policies.
