If you do not perform real-name authentication on your Tencent Cloud account, several limitations and impacts may occur:
Service Restrictions: Some Tencent Cloud services, such as purchasing cloud servers (CVM), object storage (COS), or other paid resources, may be unavailable until real-name authentication is completed. For example, you won't be able to deploy a production environment without completing the verification process.
Billing and Payment Issues: Without real-name authentication, you may face restrictions on payment methods. For instance, certain payment channels (like bank transfers or corporate billing) might require verified accounts to ensure compliance with financial regulations.
Account Security and Trustworthiness: Real-name authentication helps verify your identity, reducing the risk of account misuse or fraud. Unverified accounts may be flagged for additional security checks, delaying access to support or critical operations.
Compliance Requirements: In some regions or industries, real-name authentication is mandatory for legal or regulatory compliance. For example, businesses handling sensitive data (e.g., healthcare or finance) must verify their identity to use Tencent Cloud services legally.
Example: If you try to purchase a Tencent Cloud CVM instance without real-name authentication, the system will block the transaction and prompt you to complete the verification first.
To resolve this, visit the Tencent Cloud Console, navigate to Account Security, and follow the steps for real-name authentication. This ensures full access to all services and compliance with platform policies.
