Google search giant Google has announced mandatory steps to follow the Android application developer to “keep Google Play safe and safe.” The company has revealed two new security measures that will be mandatory for developers, which are additional identification requirements and 2 step verification.
What additional identification requirements? According to Google, the owner of the Developer account account will also be asked to provide whether their account is personal or belonging to the organization, the contact name, physical address and their telephone number.
“Your contact information allows us to share important information and updates about your application.
It also helps us ensure that every account is created by real people with real contact details, which help us keep the Play Store safe for all users,” Google said while explaining why This information wants this information.
The company ensures that this information is only for identity verification and will not be publicly disclosed.
How do Google plan to force this new rule? The company will make it an option for the owner of the developer account to declare their account type and verify their contact details.
In August, it would make it mandatory for all new developer accounts to determine their type of account and verify their contact information when registering.
This will also make 2 step verification requirements for the new developer account owner.
Then, the end of this year will make all the existing developer account owners state their account type, providing information needed, and verifying their contact details.
