Google Play has had its share of problems with malware, app cloning, and scams, which is why the company has begun taking steps to improve developer account security. Starting today, developers will be able to verify their contact details and account type (personal or business), with verification becoming mandatory if those details are changed.
In August, new developer accounts will be required to verify their credentials and will need to go through a two-step verification process. All of these added security measures will become a requirement for all new and existing developer accounts at some point later this year.
