Automated Authorization Response Techniques

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories having program instructions stored thereon that are capable of execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• process a received permission request as an authentication factor in a multi-factor authentication procedure initiated by another device;
• determine that one or more automation criteria are met based on current values of one or more parameters determined by the apparatus;
• and
• in response to the determination, automatically grant or deny the permission request without receiving user input indicating whether to grant or deny the permission request.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system from a first device, a first request associated with a user account;
• sending, by the computing system to a second device, a permission request as an authentication factor in a multi-factor authentication procedure for the first request;
• receiving, by the computing system, an automatic grant or denial of the permission request, wherein the automatic grant or denial is generated by the second device, based on a determination that one or more automation criteria are met based on current values of one or more parameters determined by the second device, without receiving user input indicating whether to grant or deny the permission request;
• and
• generating a response to the first request based on the automatic grant or denial.
