Descope

Drag-and-drop authentication flows with visual workflow builder

paidupdated Apr 21, 2026

Descope is an authentication platform featuring a visual drag-and-drop flow builder for designing login and signup experiences. It supports passwordless authentication, social login, MFA, SAML SSO, and passkeys. Raised $53M Series A to build no-code identity workflows. SDKs for web, mobile, and backend with pre-built UI components that reduce auth implementation to minutes.

Descope's primary innovation is its visual Flows editor that allows product and engineering teams to design authentication experiences by dragging and dropping components rather than writing authentication logic in code. Login flows, registration processes, step-up authentication, and account recovery workflows are composed visually from pre-built blocks including social login buttons, OTP verification, biometric checks, and conditional logic gates. Changes to flows deploy instantly without code releases.

The platform supports modern authentication methods including passkeys and WebAuthn for passwordless login, magic links, social login with major providers, TOTP and push-based multi-factor authentication, and enterprise SAML SSO connections. The focus on passwordless and passkey-first authentication reflects the industry movement away from traditional password-based security toward phishing-resistant authentication methods.

With $53 million in Series A funding, Descope targets organizations that want to move faster on authentication without building identity expertise in-house. Pre-built UI components for React, Vue, Angular, and mobile platforms provide polished login interfaces that match modern design expectations. The platform handles session management, token lifecycle, and user management through APIs and management consoles, while the visual flow builder enables product teams to iterate on authentication experiences independently of engineering sprints.
