Abstract
Verification of a user login to a secure account from a mobile device occurs when the user provides login credentials and a hardware identifier (ID) corresponding to the mobile device. The provided login credentials and hardware ID are then verified against a registry. Further, the mobile device determines and provides a geographic location of the mobile device using a global positioning system (GPS) component installed therein. The location provided by the mobile devices is then matched with a location of a network element with which the mobile device is currently communicating.
