Descope Flows is a visual, workflow-based interface for building and customizing user authentication and identity journeys within applications. It abstracts the implementation details of authentication methods, session management, risk management, and error handling into a no/low-code drag-and-drop flow builder. Key capabilities include: - Visual workflow builder for defining end-to-end user journeys including signup, login, MFA, user invites, identity merging, and bot protection - Onboarding wizard that pre-generates flows based on application requirements - Support for custom screens, user paths, conditional logic, and branding without redeploying the application - CI/CD compatibility via JSON export for version control and flow testing before production deployment - Plug-and-play connectors for external tools covering use cases such as risk-based MFA, identity verification, localization, and CRM updates Use cases explicitly covered include: - Enforcing SSO on enabled domains - Replacing passwords with passkeys - Building user waitlists - Frictionless user onboarding - Merging OAuth identities - Self-service SAML SSO The platform is designed to allow both frontend and backend user journey modifications without code changes, making it suitable for teams seeking to iterate on authentication flows independently of their application release cycle.
