Approve a key request without logging in. Just hit reply.
Approvers reply APPROVE or DECLINE to the notification email, and Alaska does the rest. Every reply is securely verified, so only genuine approvals count.
Approvers live in their inbox, not your portal
The slowest part of most key requests is getting a busy person to log in and click a button.
Another login to remember
Directors and finance approvers rarely log in to a key portal, so requests wait for them.
Chasing sign-off
Requesters chase approvers by email anyway, so the approval might as well happen there.
