Anyone else have PSN login issues today? It wouldn't let me login with my details, but it was fine after resetting my password.

I've seen other people with the same issue online.

No issues with getting the update, installing it, and then adding a few new friends and checking the Store.

Have you updated to 1.51 yet?

Yep, kept telling me my password was wrong, even though I knew it wasn't. It would log in to the PlayStation app on my phone fine but when I tried to log in to the store it wouldn't accept my credentials. Ended up changing the password to what it already was and it worked fine.

I can't log in via Vita or the web store, it says my email/password is wrong.

Yep, this is the same issue I had.

Weird, it's like they reset passwords for a bunch of users. Hope they weren't hacked again.

My password was reset, and I don't know the DoB on my account since I made it when I was around 10

How fucked am I?

I couldn't log in on Vita, PS3 or webstore - told me my details were wrong. I reset my password and everything worked, but it was really weird. Somewhat comforting to know that I wasn't the only one.

I'm keeping an eye on it, though.

An update

Man, I'm impressed with sony support, I had a very unusal error, and they fixed it up with one phone call, my account is getting my D.O.B corrected, and I'm also getting it all sorted in time for the PS4 next week.
 
I couldnt login in any of my PS devices or Sony website. What the fuck? Its good that I remembered what fake birth date I signed up with for the password reset. Can customer support still get you access to your account by providing them the CC and address details that are associated with the account?

I had a fake D.O.B and phoned support, they asked for my email, verifed it was me by providing my address, and a few recent transactions (psn purchases, codes for pre order bonuses etc), he then give me a reference number, a email address, which I had to email my ID too.

Couldn't log in to the store from mobile, but it worked just fine from PC.

Got an error on mobile saying PSN was undergoing maintenance.

I just tried to login a few minutes ago and PSN says that my details are wrong, lol.
Even more so, I cannot change my password (???)

Apparently some other people on the internet (reddit, FB, Twitter) have the same problem

Calling it now.

What is DOB? After emailing that address with your ID, did they just give you a new password?

Date of Birth.


My full story

Create account at PS3 launch as a 10 year old or somewhere in that area, like all kids, go through every step hitting random things because I just want to play video games
Get to today

Phone support, explain to the guy first that I was locked out, and used a fake D.O.B on my account as a kid, so I don't know it to reset it, I was quite paniced aswell, but luckily he understood and worked with me fine and assured me it would be fine

Verified the account was mine, this was done by me telling him the following
My PSN ID
My sign in email address
The first line of my home address
My Postcode
Recent activity on my account (I told him the last thing my account has downloaded, and last played games)
Recent Transactions (this was literally anything connected with the PS store, downloads, PS+ games, demos etc)

after this, I was placed on hold for a short period of time (most likely speaking with a supervisor or similar)

He came back, said everything was okay, and asked me to confirm my real date of birth and confirm I am over 18

Give me a reference number for my case, and a email address, had to email the address with my Date of Birth, a picture of my ID, my PSN ID and the reference number.


I don't have a date yet, but I asked for a timescale since I said I'm planning on getting a PS4, and got the reply "it should be before launch, but a definite date is not possible due to the fact it works in a queue".

Of course, this was with the UK SCCE phone number, and YMMV depending on your service rep and country.

Thanks for sharing your story. I feel now more reassured that I can retrieve my account at the event of losing access to it somehow. I really do hope they add phone security though.

I was having PSN Store problems on the PS3 yesterday. System freeze...the new store (which is the same as the PS4 store) does not run very smoothly on the PS3.

Yeah, bit of a long process, but I'd rather have that than it be too easy

Just 5 minutes ago I was unable to login on every SEN-related stuff.

Now I changed my password, and I can log in.

Fear!

Found my PSN fake DOB without contacting Sony. If you ever signed up to Mubi (the film service thing), it logs your PSN DOB under its profile settings. Load the website up and log in, go on social and click on your profile. You should be able to find your birthday on there :)

Okay, PSNGate 2.0 over. :x

Forgot that I used a fake DOB and just went three years down from my actual birthday.
Works as always (again)

Yep I had the same today, had to reset it even though I knew the password was correct - I couldnt get on PSN or the webstore

I'm having problems signing into anything Sony related. I know that it's possibly PS4 related, but jeez, that scared the beejeezus out of me.

Also I can't reset my password at all.
I'm in Ireland.

This worked. I had a dumb DOB on mine.
Thank you!

Mandatory reset for "only a small number of users", "purely as precautionary measure".

Date of Birth.

Something to bear in mind (assuming I've read this correctly and you used a fake DoB due to being under 18 and wanting a master account) - I've heard a fair few people be rejected by this process as the correct date of birth means the date of account creation is before the date at which you would have turned 18, and therefore eligible for a master account. I think in this case they would just leave your DoB as it originally was, rather than hunting you down or anything, but just a heads up. Last I heard, no matter what you do, you cannot change your DoB in this sort of situation, you'd just have to make a new account.
