Mobile devices 4G/5G have become an important part of our day to day lives. Accessing internet applications has become much easier due to mobile phones. Mobile phones nowadays have been built with new technologies like location based services like GPS. Mobile phones which make it easy to access applications and are the gateway to authentication failure can be used to provide authentication and protect user's private and confidential information. As mobiles have become important for our existence its important have them secured and have them authenticated. Location-based technique is one of the new technologies used to check authentication through smart phones. Authentication is one of the building blocks of security measures and mobile phones can compromise it. For example, if a phone is lost anyone can hack into the phone and get all the confidential information like bank account details and can use the credit card or debit card details. To avoid such scenarios location-based authentication services can be used to collect data and analyze the user's movements and actions. As using internet applications through Smartphones 4G/5G devices has become such a rage, it is necessary to have few methods to help authenticate users. I intend to survey and give out all the methods which use location services to authenticate users and help in maintaining the security. In this paper, I would like to summarize the methods.
