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.

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!

@vijay_rayapati Thank you for your support and feedback!

@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!
Abhishek Iyer
@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! 👍
Rishi Bhargava
@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
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.

@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
@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.

@dorsha oh, thanks! I’ll try😎
Doron Sharon
@dzianis_yatsenka great, let me know how it goes. I also encourage you to join AuthTown, our Slack community: https://www.descope.com/community
