Descope Authentication API
Public, end-user-facing authentication API covering every Descope login experience — One-Time Passwords (email/SMS/voice/IM), Magic Link, Enchanted Link, OAuth/Social, One-Tap, nOTP, TOTP authenticator apps, WebAuthn/Passkeys, password authentication, security questions, recovery codes, SSO/SAML, access keys, session refresh, tenant selection, and IdP-initiated logout. All flows expose `signup`, `signin`, `signup-in`, `verify`, and `update` endpoints where applicable so frontends and mobile SDKs can compose any journey Descope Flows can render.
