Kakao adds name misuse prevention feature, strengthens identity verification
Kakao said on Thursday it has introduced a \"My Name Protection\" feature that lets users directly check when their name is newly registered to a Kakao account. When enabled, the feature requires additional verification if identity authentication information under the same name is newly registered to another Kakao account. Verification is completed through approval in a KakaoTalk message or by entering a code sent to the account email.
