Well about fucking time.
I can picture the intern behind this 7 years ago:
" Sir I've been watching GAF and other gaming sites and the hacking of PSN accounts is getting pretty frequent"
"Yes we know. But we have 200 people working on stability updates and you can't expect us to tell them to work on less important stuff"
"But sir people are losing their accounts and our shitty support isn't helping them"
"yes but do you think they even want to have an account on an instable console?"
" Wha... what if I work on it for free?"
"Ok but you can only spend 15 minutes on it during the week"
When the console is off you are signed out and don't appear as online to your friends (same with rest mode)
The only "down side", if you want to call it that, of not singing out manually is that if someone breaks into your house and steals your console they would have acces to your account (because the console will log in automatically when they turn it on). But keep in mind that the chances of that happening are low and that even if it happens they would still need access to your original password and/or email adress in order to change the password. And the chances of all of that happening are lower than the chanes of some one hacking your account because of lack of security from not using two factors authentication

This is probably a series of very stupid questions, but with the upcoming 2FA I'm keen to know:
Normally, whenever I turn on my PS4 I log into PSN manually, and sign out whenever I'm about to turn the console off. For whatever reason I never like staying signed into a service if I'm not using it.
Assuming I don't want to be inundated with 2FA text messages every time I log in, would it be better to never sign out of PSN on my PS4? Is there any downside to this method? Does turning off the console count as signing out, so it won't look to friends like I'm still online when the console isn't even on?
