Social Login (OAuth) Settings Guide | Descope Documentation

Authentication/Social Login (OAuth)

Configure your social login (OAuth) settings from the Descope Console under Settings → Authentication Methods → Social Login.

Enable Method in API and SDK

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

When enabled: Authentication works via flows, APIs, and SDKs
When disabled: Authentication only works with flows or calls made with a valid management key

This global setting applies to all OAuth providers. Individual providers can have their own overrides for this setting.

Provider-Specific Settings

Each OAuth provider has its own configuration options that vary depending on whether you're using:

Default providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, GitHub) - See the default providers documentation.
Custom providers - See the custom providers documentation.

For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the documentation for your specific provider type.
