Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The mandatory nature of this verification means users cannot opt out, and the measure is framed as a safeguard against unauthorized account access.

Interpretive note: The excerpt describes the purpose of the verification ('helps prevent unauthorized access') but does not specify the precise mechanism or what happens if the verification is not completed. The canonical claim is limited to what the language explicitly states.
