| - | **Location Factor** is part of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:mfa]] and includes using the user's current geographic location as determined by Global Positioning System (GPS) or using mobile device radio tower triangulation. Location Factors are generally not used as a sole source of identification but are used in combination with other identifying MFA factors such as [[dido:public:ra:xapend.glossary:k:knowledge_factor]], [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:possession_factor]], or Inherence. For example, an attempt is made to sign-on to a site using the user's user id and password but is doing so from a different location. The server rejects the sign-on because it uses the combination of the user/password and location to confirm the identity of the user. | + | **Location Factors** are part of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:mfa]] and includes using the user's current geographic location as determined by Global Positioning System (GPS) or using mobile device radio tower triangulation.
