Abstract
Embodiments are described for authenticating a login request for logging in to a user account on a host system. An example method includes receiving, by the host system, as part of the login request, an authentication image. The method also includes determining that the login request is sent from an authorized login-location, by comparing the authentication image with a reference image from the authorized login-location. The method further includes, in response to the login request being sent from the authorized login-location, facilitating access to the user account.
