Authenticator Apps (TOTP)

Descope supports validating sign-up and sign-ins via Authenticator Applications which provide a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP). Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy are examples of authenticator apps. Descope generates the required QR code or key (also called a secret or seed) in order to configure new a new Authenticator.

Descope implements authenticator apps using the Descope SDKs or REST API. You can enable/disable the method from the customization page in API and SDK, but no additional configuration is required.
