Abstract
The disclosure relates to an authentication approach to grant access to a secure service on an electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving, via an electronic device, a request to access the secure service. The authentication approach includes determining whether the electronic device is positioned at a location that corresponds to a virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes displaying, in response to determining the device is positioned at the location that corresponds to the virtual authentication lock, the virtual authentication lock on a display of the electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving one or more interactions with the virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes determining whether the one or more interactions correspond to one or more authentication interactions related to the virtual authentication lock and granting, in response to the one or more interactions corresponding to the one or more authentication interactions, access to the secure service.
