Device Authentication Settings

Customize your Device Authentication Settings from the Descope console (Settings > Authentication Methods > Device Authentication).

Enable Method in API and SDK

The Enable method in API and SDK toggle controls whether Device Authentication can be invoked programmatically via APIs and SDKs.

Unlike other authentication methods, the only way to use Device Authentication is through API/SDK calls, so this setting will enable/disable Device Authentication entirely.
