But as a temporary measure, MatNavi service has been available to those who identify themselves with passport. However, we are going to end this temporary solution from the following dates.

  • Deletion of information on users with passport-based DICE accounts: March 29, 2024

If you wish to use MatNavi service, it is necessary to switch to the identity verification based on the e-mail address domain name following the procedure described next.
Notice: Your DICE account will be deleted if you don't switch your user verification method by the date mentioned above.

[Procedures]
(1)Please get a DICE account with email domain name identification. The domain name must be the one you are using with email in your organization. (for every users.)

Your DICE account will be deleted if you don't switch your account by the date mentioned above. Please keep in mind.

Due to the increasing number of exhaustive data extractions (web scraping, etc.) from free email addresses of unknown affiliation even though we prohibit, we had no choice but to modify user verification of registration procedures.
In order to protect our data assets, we must unavoidably adopt the new method.
We would like any user to act immediately, then again it will be possible to link with DICE as well as with other DICE services.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
