1. A method for verifying an identity of a first user over a network, the method comprising:
at a first computing device:
obtaining, from a near-field communication device held by an article, an access request for the first computing device to access a network-based service, wherein the first computing device is separate from the article holding the near-field communication device, and wherein the access request is obtained based on confirming biometric information associated with the access request corresponds to previously stored biometric information of the first user, said confirming biometric information involves the first user entering biometric information into the article holding the near-field communication device, and by the article holding the near-field communication device confirming the entered biometric information matches the previously stored biometric information, said previously stored biometric information being stored in the near-field communication device held by the article;
transmitting the access request from the first computing device, over the network, requesting the first computing device receive access to the network-based service; and
at a second computing device:
obtaining, from the article holding the near-field communication device, a second set of information, wherein the second computing device is separate from the article holding the near-field communication device;
transmitting a request from the second computing device, over the network, for the second computing device to access the network-based service, wherein the request from the second computing device comprises the second set of information obtained from the article holding the near-field communication device and a location of the second computing device; and
receiving confirmation that the second computing device has been granted access to the network-based service based on the network-based service confirming a location match is present between the first and second computing devices and confirming the first computing device has been granted access to the network-based service, wherein the confirmation comprises a confirmation of the identity of the first user.
