A computer-implemented method is provided to authenticate a user. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining, at an authentication server, a current location and an associated time from a client device of the user over a communications network; determining, by a hardware processor, a location score based on a correlation between the current location and the associated time and a historical location and a historical time that are associated with the client device of the user; determining, by the hardware processor, a risk assessment score based on the location score; and providing, over the communications network, an authentication verification for the user to perform one or more actions with an online resource based on the risk assessment score.

Method and system for authentication via location monitoring

A computer-implemented method is provided to authenticate a user. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining, at an authentication server, a current location and an associated time from a client device of the user over a communications network; determining, by a hardware processor of the authentication server, that the current location and the associated time is at or near a historical location and a historical time associated with the user; determining, by the hardware processor, a location score based on a degree of correlation between the current location and the associated time and the historical location and the historical time; determining, by the hardware processor, a risk assessment score based on the location score; and providing, over the communications network, an authentication verification for the user to perform one or more actions with an online resource based on the risk assessment score.

A secure fob that enables a user to pay for an item or items without needing to present a mobile device. A secure fob may include a proximity capability to ensure that a mobile device is within a particular range, thereby eliminating the risk of fraudulent charges on a stolen fob. In such an embodiment, a fob may be disabled if the fob is not paired with the mobile device by virtue of being disconnected and/or physically separated from the mobile device. The secure fob also may include enhanced features to authorize transactions and locate the mobile device and/or the secure fob.
