A gesture with a mobile device by the user is required for authorized access to the mobile device. An activating motion is performed to trigger authentication mode. Sensors detect the current geographic location of the device and a gesture performed by the user. Geographic location and a gesture are matched against stored data. Optionally, the detected data may fall within a tolerance range for both the geographic location and a gesture to be authorized access. Various techniques to permit different access levels are implemented based upon the type of gesture performed or the location where performed. During authentication setup a performed gesture at a particular geographic location is stored in the device. Performance of the same gesture multiple times allows for tolerance ranges to be established.
