Automating responses to authentication requests using unsupervised computer learning techniques

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processing elements;
• and
• one or more storage elements configured to:
• receive, from a server system, a first request, wherein the first request corresponds to a factor in a first multi-factor authentication procedure;
• send a response to the first request to the server system based on user input approving or denying the first request and storing values of multiple parameters associated with the first request for use in automating subsequent requests for multi-factor authentication;
• receive a second request from the server system, wherein the second request corresponds to a factor in a second multi-factor authentication procedure initiated by another computing device, wherein the second request is for authentication for a different account than the first request;
• automatically generate an approval response to the second request based on output of a machine learning module that receives inputs that include values of multiple parameters for the second request and the stored values of the multiple parameters associated with the first request, wherein the approval response is automatically generated without receiving user input to automate the second request;
• and
• send, to the server system, the automatically generated approval response.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system from a server system, a first request, wherein the first request corresponds to a factor in a first multi-factor authentication procedure;
• sending, by the computing system to the server system, a response to the first request based on user input approving or denying the first request and storing values of multiple parameters associated with the first request for use in automating subsequent requests for multi-factor authentication;
• receiving, by the computing system from the server system, a second request, wherein the second request corresponds to a factor in a second multi-factor authentication procedure initiated by another computing device, wherein the second request is for authentication for a different account than the first request;
• automatically generating, by the computing system, an approval response to the second request based on output of a machine learning module that receives inputs that include values of multiple parameters for the second request and the stored values of the multiple parameters associated with the first request, wherein the approval response is automatically generated without receiving user input to automate the second request;
• and
• sending, by the computing system to the server system, the automatically generated approval response.
