# Allow verdict

> Handling `ALLOW` verdicts for low-risk devices.

## Overview

When Stytch returns an `ALLOW` verdict, it is because this request does not raise warning flags or it matches known-good device configurations. You can allow the privileged action.

## Allow verdicts in the API

When you receive an `ALLOW` verdict in the [Fingerprint Lookup](/api-reference/fraud/api/fingerprint-lookup) response, you should allow the request associated with that Telemetry ID to proceed.

If you maintain your own risk score based on cumulative Device Fingerprinting verdicts, you should assign a low level of risk to an `ALLOW` verdict.

## Allow verdicts in Protected Auth

When [Protected Auth](/fraud-risk/device-fingerprinting/protected-auth) is enabled, the Stytch SDK will allow requests to proceed when an `ALLOW` verdict is returned.

## Blocking a device or device group receiving an allow verdict

Fraud is an adversarial environment, so some bad actors may still receive `ALLOW` verdicts. This may be due to manual abuse (where a human is clicking on their own browser) or novel evasion techniques.

To block a device or group of devices that's receiving an `ALLOW` verdict, [set a rule](/fraud-risk/device-fingerprinting/decisioning/set-rules) to `BLOCK` that traffic.
