# Descope > Drag-and-drop customer identity and access management platform for passwordless authentication, SSO, MFA, and user management. Descope is an External IAM platform that enables developers to build and customize identity journeys for customers, partners, AI agents, and MCP servers using visual workflows, SDKs, and APIs. The platform reduces user friction, prevents account takeover, and provides a 360-degree view of customer and agentic identities without requiring extensive coding. - **Drag & Drop User Journeys** allows you to add signup, login, MFA, SSO, and step-up authentication through a flexible workflow interface that governs both frontend experience and backend logic from one place. - **Complete User Management** provides tools to manage, merge, and sync identities across the user journey with fine-grained authorization capabilities including RBAC, ReBAC, and ABAC. - **Passwordless Authentication** supports multiple methods including passkeys, magic links, social login, Google One Tap, biometrics, and one-time passwords to delight users with frictionless authentication. - **Enterprise SSO** simplifies SAML/OIDC SSO configuration with self-service setup for B2B applications, supporting zero-downtime SSO migration and SCIM provisioning. - **Adaptive Security** enforces MFA only for risky logins using native and third-party risk signals, with bot protection and step-up authentication for sensitive actions. - **Identity Federation** unifies identities across multiple apps and identity providers in real-time, eliminating identity silos with tenant-aware IAM. - **Agentic IAM** provides secure authentication and granular access control for APIs, AI agents, and remote MCP servers with authorization, scope-based access control, and consent management. - **Self-Service Widgets** empower end users to manage profiles, users, roles, access keys, audits, and SSO configuration independently. - **Third-Party Connectors** integrate with 50+ tools for identity orchestration, data syncs, and just-in-time provisioning. To get started, sign up for a free account and use Descope Flows to visually build authentication journeys, or integrate using SDKs for React, Next.js, Vue.js, Python, Node.js, and more. The platform supports web, mobile, and backend frameworks with comprehensive documentation and community support. ## Features - Drag-and-drop workflow builder - Passwordless authentication - Passkeys and biometrics - Magic links - Social login - Google One Tap - SAML/OIDC SSO - Multi-factor authentication - Step-up authentication - Role-based access control - Fine-grained authorization - User provisioning (SCIM) - Self-service admin widgets - Identity federation - Bot protection - Adaptive MFA - Session management - Multi-tenancy - Custom domains - Localization - CI/CD integration - Third-party connectors - Audit logging - Anonymous user tracking - SSO migration - Multi-region deployments ## Integrations React, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, Java, .NET, Go, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift, React Native, Flutter, Webflow, Passport.js, Auth.js, Django, Twilio, Amazon SNS, Telesign, Salesforce, Zendesk ## Platforms MACOS, LINUX, WEB, API, DEVELOPER_SDK ## Pricing Open Source, Free tier available ## Links - Website: https://www.descope.com - Documentation: https://docs.descope.com/ - Repository: https://github.com/descope - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/descope
