ABSTRACT An access control system and method with location validation are provided. The method can include receiving a request from an authentication factor, identifying a location module associated with the authentication factor, identifying a location of the location module, and determining whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or a control system, including an access panel of the control system, that received the request from the authentication factor. When the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, the method can include granting the request received from the authentication factor. However, when the location module is not within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, the method can include denying the request received from the authentication factor.
