Abstract

In an approach for authenticating a user attempting to access to a resource, a processor receives an indication of a user attempting to access a resource within a timeframe, wherein the indication includes a location of the user. A processor identifies a location requirement for the user attempting to access the resource, wherein the location requirement originates from an entry indicating an expected location of the user within the timeframe, and wherein the entry is unmodifiable by the user. A processor determines whether the expected location of the user matches, within a threshold, the received location of the user attempting to access the resource.
