US Patent 10225242 Automated authorization response techniques

Techniques are disclosed relating to automating permission requests, e.g., in the context of multi-factor authentication. In some embodiments a mobile device receives permission requests that specify sets of one or more automation criteria. In some embodiments, the mobile device prompts a user for a response to permission requests when the criteria are not met and automatically responds to permission requests (e.g., without requiring user input) when the criteria are met. Disclosed techniques may increase authorization security while reducing user interaction for multi-factor authentication, in some embodiments.
