Authentication/Device Authentication

Device Authentication Settings

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

All Settings

  • Enable method in API and SDK: This toggle switch enables or disables the authentication method from being available for use via API/SDK calls. Default is Disabled.

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.

  • User code format: Adjust the user code's format using 'X' characters and '-' as separators. Default is XXX-XXX.

  • User code characters: Choose whether the user code consists of Both capital letters and numbers, Only capital letters, or Only numbers.

  • Expiration time: Set the user code and device code expiration time in minutes/hours. Default is 3 minutes.

  • Device Hosting URL: The flow hosting URL for your Device Authentication Verification Flow.
