Abstract
The disclosure herein relates to methods, apparatuses, and systems for improving authentication using geolocation data. In some examples, a user may be authenticated by comparing user provided geolocation data with a predetermined geolocation. The user input may be made on a map interface. In some examples, the user may be authenticated by comparing two geolocations together. A slope of a line intersecting the user inputted geolocation and the pre-defined primary geolocation may be computed. If the calculated slope value corresponds to an initial slope value, then the answer may be deemed valid. In some examples, the authentication system may authenticate the user by comparing three geolocations together. An angle between two lines may be computed, where each line is formed by intersecting one of two geolocation answers and an intersecting the primary geolocation. If the computed angle corresponds with a stored secret angle, the answer may be deemed valid.
