Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to automating permission requests, e.g., in the context of multi-factor authentication. In some embodiments, based on a change in one or more automation criteria (e.g., based on a mobile device entering a particular geographic region) a mobile device is configured to preemptively indicate to an authorization system to automatically authorize a subsequent attempt to perform an action, without transmitting the permission request to the mobile device. The mobile device may later revoke the preemptive permission request, e.g., based on another change in automation criteria. Disclosed techniques may increase authorization security while reducing user interaction for multi-factor authentication, in some embodiments.
