Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, and computer-readable storage medium for managing access to an application on a mobile computing device. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a user to return to the application and return to a previous screen of the application on the mobile computing device, and determining, using a processor, whether the previous screen of the application was in a secured area of the application. If it was in the secured area, then an authentication protocol is triggered prior to allowing the user to return to the previous screen in the secured area of the application on the mobile computing device. In another embodiment, geolocation dependent information is provided to a user via an application on a mobile computing device.
