Credenti vs Descope

Credenti provides passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication for desktops, shared devices, legacy applications, and offline environments. Users can sign in with biometrics, passkeys, security keys, or RFID, NFC, CAC, and PIV-I badge taps; QR codes and PINs are policy-controlled fallback methods. Credenti Unify extends single sign-on to legacy, thick-client, and air-gapped apps, including those without SAML or OpenID Connect. The platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, along with Zebra devices and VDI environments such as Citrix and Omnissa Horizon. Deployment options include SaaS, Private Cloud, and self-hosted on-premises, including air-gapped setups. Named integrations and supported environments include Okta, Microsoft Entra, CyberArk, and Active Directory. Other capabilities include document checks, biometric identity proofing, and Know Your Employee workflows with AI-driven risk scoring. Self-service recovery uses face biometrics and liveness detection for password and MFA-factor resets. Credenti also describes shared-workstation session switching through badge or mobile unlock. Pricing is available on request.
