According to some embodiments of the invention, an authentication method is provided1. Transaction data for a transaction is received at a communication device from an access device or a resource provider. The transaction data comprises a location of the access device. A location of the communication device is determined by the communication device. It is determined whether a distance between the location of the access device and the location of the communication device is within a predetermined threshold. The transaction is not authorized if the distance between the location of the access device and the location of the communication device is not within a predetermined threshold.
