Abstract
In an approach to variable authentication, one or more computer processors receive a request to access secure data from a computing device. The one or more computer processors receive geolocation data associated with the computing device. The one or more computer processors compare the geolocation data to authentication parameters associated with the computing device to determine if the geolocation data falls within the authentication parameters. The one or more computer processors determine whether the geolocation data falls within the authentication parameters. If the geolocation data does not, the one or more computer processors send a request for authentication from the computing device via an authentication method wherein the authentication method corresponds to an identified location and time of the computing device associated with the request to access secure data and a time associated with the request to access secure data. The one or more computer processors receive the authentication.
