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.
