First Claim
Patent Images
1. A machine-implemented method for authenticating a user session, comprising:
- recognizing a current location of a user login attempt;
executing a comparison of the current location to a user location profile associated with a user account; and
presenting a user with an enhanced identity challenge before allowing user access based on the comparison.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a user authentication server may use geo-location tracking to determine whether to present an enhanced identity challenge. A communication interface 180 may receive a user login attempt by a user and a current location of the user login attempt. A data storage 150 may store a user location profile of the user. A processor 120 may execute a comparison of the current location to the user location profile. The communication interface 180 may present the user with an enhanced identity challenge before allowing user access based on the comparison.

14. A tangible machine-readable medium having a set of instructions detailing a method stored thereon that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform the method, the method comprising:
-
collecting a login location history while in an observation mode to create a user location profile associated with a user account; executing a comparison of a current geo-location of a user login attempt to the user location profile; and presenting the user with an enhanced identity challenge before allowing user access based on the user location profile. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
