Hi Product Hunt 👋 This is Slavik - Co-Founder and CEO of Descope. We’re very excited to share our drag-and-drop authentication and user management platform with you! My founding team and I have built multiple enterprise security startups over the past two decades (Sentrigo for database security and Demisto for security automation). While scaling these companies, we experienced first-hand what a big engineering lift building authentication in-house can be. What started out as a sprint line item quickly ballooned into a multi-year investment as we faced questions like: * Which authentication methods should we use? * How should we securely manage sessions? * How do we handle password resets? * What’s the best way to tackle roles and permissions for users and tenants? * Where should we add security controls to protect sensitive user actions? * Why are we even using passwords? * How do we provision and de-provision users for a self-serve solution? * Seriously, why passwords? We became authentication experts the hard way, but hopefully you won’t have to. With Descope, our mission is to abstract away the complexity of authentication - while also making it passwordless, frictionless, and secure - so that developers can spend more time on other product goals. *How Descope helps* 🚀 Go live with any combination of authentication methods, including passkeys / biometrics, magic links, social logins (OAuth), SAML SSO, one-time passwords, authenticator apps, and (sigh) passwords. ⚡ Create authentication flows and user-facing screens in a customizable visual workflow designer. 🔒 Improve login security by stopping bot attacks, account takeover, and password-based compromise. 🏆 Get your business app enterprise-ready with role-based access control, tenant management, and SCIM provisioning. 👁️‍🗨️ Protect your users with multi-factor authentication, step-up controls for risky actions, and secure session management. ⚙️ Build the way you want – choose from no-code workflows, Client and Backend SDKs, and REST APIs. For more implementation details, check out our documentation here: https://docs.descope.com Sign up on our website for our Free Forever Tier and let us know what you think! Our team will be around all day and will be sure to address any feedback or comments you have. Cheers, Slavik

@slavik_markovich Congrats Slavik, Rishi and team on your launch. As an early stage startup, we can feel the need for a solution like Descope when we need to support Enterprise SSO, Magic Links and Protected Auth etc Can't wait to see Descope growth and be part of the journey as a user!

@slavik_markovich Congrats on the launch. To begin with, I really like what you guys have done with the thumbnail. I have first-hand experienced this problem. Way to go!

@praveen_mishra6 Thanks for your encouraging comment! Yes, we spent a bit of time on the thumbnail to make sure it conveyed the value Descope provides as well as being eye-catching :)

@slavik_markovich This is awesome. Looking forward to using it. Have been concerned about authentication problems with users for a few weeks now lol

Congratulations on the launch of Descope! The no-code workflows, SDKs, and APIs sound like a dream come true for creating frictionless login experiences. Are there any additional features that can make the user experience even better? Keep up the good work! 👍

@srprs thanks! In addition to the No code workflow, descope enables many multi-tenancy and SAML related capabilities which helps B2B app developers build enterprise ready apps! Appreciate your feedback.
Abhishek Iyer

@srprs Thank you for the feedback! One feature that comes to mind which we didn't mention here is Enchanted Links. These are an enhanced version of magic links where a user can start the login process on one device while clicking the link on another device. This leads to a more seamless user experience (e.g. request login on laptop, click enchanted link on phone, complete login on laptop). You can check out the documentation here: https://docs.descope.com/build/g...

Hi! Good luck on the launch! Can I add login with apple using descope? If yes can I add somehow email collecting?
Doron Sharon
Maker
Hi @dzianis_yatsenka, thanks! Yes, you can add the most popular social OAuth providers, including Apple to your login page, after the sign-in / sign-up you will be able to get the logged in user's email. Check out our docs https://docs.descope.com. Let me know if you have further questions.
Dzianis Yatsenka
@dorsha I mean apple has feature “hide my email”, but I need sometimes user’s email to contact him. Do you know the solution for this problem?
Doron Sharon
Maker
@dzianis_yatsenka I see, for that, after signing-in with Apple, you can add a step in the login flow to update the user email, the step will ask the user to enter their email and verify it.

@dzianis_yatsenka great, let me know how it goes. I also encourage you to join AuthTown, our Slack community: https://www.descope.com/community
Prakrith Abhishek
@dzianis_yatsenka Hide my email just adds in a proxy email. The user can still be contacted at that email, it just gets forwarded to their real email.

Looks interesting and useful! Do you support multi-tenancy and allow tenant admins to manage their own SAML definitions and users? Congrats on the launch 🚀
Gilad Shriki
Maker
Hi @maritamar, and thanks for the note. Yes, Descope provides full multi-tenancy support with tenant-level self-service. Admins of tenants can set up their own SAML configuration, attribute mappings, and group-to-role mapping for RBAC. We also provide a built-in Flow to provide UI for such self-service setup, reducing the need to develop the settings UI yourself.
Alok Shukla
In my 14 years of product management and 20 years of building products, I have never implemented Auth and RBAC in a product so quickly. It took just two months, thanks to a great team, a great product, and an overall great experience.

@alokshukla78 Thanks Alok! Indeed a fantastic journey. We were also lucky to have great design partners taking the journey with us :)

Looks exactly like what I was looking for when searching for an authentication package for my nodeJS repos. Amazing!

Amit Kushwaha
Looks neat!! How can someone use their existing login provider - let's say firebase auth, to use descope?
Meir Wahnon
Maker
@yardstick17 some providers support OIDC integration, which we are planning to add soon That should delegate AuthN to Descope
Rishi Bhargava
Maker
@yardstick17 Thanks for kind words! Yes as @meirwah said, we can support that use case by OIDC integration (already in closed beta with a few early adopters). This will enable you to add passwordless authentication in minutes with your existing user stores.
