With this introduction, Kakao Entertainment plans to strengthen the one-person-one-account policy and enhance security by simplifying the complex authentication process. In particular, the platform also supports blocking malicious bots and macros through proxy and VPN detection features.
Customized features for foreign users have also been added. Even short-term foreign visitors without Connecting Information (CI) can now generate a unique identifier (DI) to recover their accounts.
Lee Wonkyu, CEO of Argos, said, "With the increase in foreign visitors to Korea, the demand for identity verification is growing across various industries," and added, "We plan to expand our services to the IT, finance, and telecommunications sectors through this collaboration."
