Abstract
An apparatus for geotagging users for authentication comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor is configured to generate a first geotag based on residence information associated with a first user and to transmit the first geotag to a first user device for assignment to a first avatar associated with the first user in a virtual environment. The processor is further configured to receive an interaction request to authorize an interaction between the first avatar and a second avatar associated with a second user. The processor is further configured to compare a first historical log to a second historical log to determine that the first avatar is associated with the first user. In response to determining that the first avatar is associated with the first user, the processor is further configured to conduct a first step in authorizing the interaction between the first avatar and the second avatar.
