Summary

Descope offers a range of integration options for implementing authentication in applications, providing developers with varying degrees of control and customization. The primary methods include Descope Flows, which allow for rapid, no-code setup of authentication journeys via a visual editor, and Bring Your Own Screen (BYOS), which retains backend logic while enabling custom frontend design. Client SDKs offer developers the building blocks to create authentication flows from scratch with Descope managing session tasks, while Backend SDKs/APIs provide the most control, requiring developers to handle all authentication logic and session management themselves. These options cater to different project needs, from quick deployment and minimal coding to extensive control over user interface and backend processes, allowing teams to balance development effort with customization according to their specific requirements.
