Abstract

Examples of techniques for location validation for authentication are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes presenting, by a processing device, a location-based security challenge to a user. The method further includes responsive to presenting the location-based security challenge to the user, receiving, by the processing device, media from the user. The method further includes validating, by the processing device, the media received from the user against the location-based security challenge to determine whether the user is located at an authorized location. The method further includes responsive to determining that the user is located at an authorized location, authenticating, by the processing device, the user to grant access for the user to a resource.
