Key-owners can now require that visitors upload a passport or national photo ID before accessing a key. Keycafe's machine-learning algorithms will verify the document to ensure its validity. Key-owners can also enable photo verification, which requires that travellers take a selfie photo and upload within 30 minutes of picking up the keys.
These added layers of security are necessary by law in some countries (e.g., Italy and Japan) and help key-owners be sure of who is accessing their keys and property.
