Summary

Descope, a company focusing on seamless and secure authentication experiences, emphasizes its commitment to user-friendly sign-up and sign-in processes without complex passwords or lengthy forms. The company has implemented several measures to enhance security and usability, such as bot detection to prevent fraudulent sign-ups, email verification for OAuth sign-ups to maintain communication with users, and adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA) that activates under specific security anomalies.
