1. A method for providing security on a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a selection via a user interface of the mobile electronic device from a user of the mobile electronic device, the selection associating a pre-defined resource with a pre-defined geo-location; storing the received selection that associates the pre-defined resource with the pre-defined geo-location in a memory; receiving a request over the user interface to access the pre-defined resource; identifying a current location of the mobile device by a positioning system at the mobile electronic device; executing instructions stored in the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:
retrieves the pre-defined geo-location associated with the pre-defined resource, identifies that the pre-defined geo-location matches the current location of the mobile electronic device, and grants access to the pre-defined resource based on the identified match between the current location of the mobile electronic device and the pre-defined geo-location.
