[xewind]

Activated it! Thanks for the info!

 

[Blueblur1]

I went through the steps quickly. There was a checkbox at the end that basically says "This option will sign you out of all devices", right? That was checked by default, right?

Yes. it works !!!!

 

[djplaeskool]

Setup and ready to go.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Thanks OP! Setup and done.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

About time. Enabled on my account.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Anybody know how device passwords work for older platforms like PS3 and Vita? You just generate the code and enter that instead of your normal password?

 

[TheSeks]

Finally. It only took them 3 years!?

 

[mieumieu]

Can I use a non us phone number for a us account?

Pretty much.

 

[M.W.]

Boom. Set

 

[Acorn]

Done and I'm in the UK

Thank the Sony lord of security for finally giving us this.

 

[Elven_Star]

Enabled. One less thing to worry about

 

[AmyS]

YES!

-Does a little dance-

 

[CloudyTuba]

I'm all set up. Hopefully now we see less threads about peoples psn accounts being compromised. Seemed like it happened pretty often.

 

[etta]

Fucking finally.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Thanks for the heads up OP! Enabled Two step asap.

 

[Whales]

it said '' failed to retvieve data from server'' once I put in the code.. but when I go back it says 2FA is active... so I guess its working?

It's about time

 

[ckleow]

Can I use a non us phone number for a us account?

Yes you can.

 

[Qvoth]

Can I use a non us phone number for a us account?

yep, i just did
got my code within seconds

 

[doctorcdcs]

yay!

 

[AgeEighty]

How timely. I just had my account hacked early this morning.

They bought $20 worth of Neverwinter money. Fortunately I was up when it happened and I was able to change my password right away, but they did try making a second purchase that didn't go through. And I managed to get Sony to credit my account for the $20, which I then used to purchase Inside, which I meant to do anyway.

So, it could have been a lot worse, but this should help to prevent any future such mishaps.

 

[DigitalScrap]

Finally! All set up.

Hopefully everyone will enable this and we will see less people getting their accounts hacked.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I completely forgot that PSP had PSN. Just to be safe I'm doing 2FA on PS4, PS3, PSV (and PSTV), and PSP. That's every PS console I own. I wonder if the PC PSN store will add it too.

Edit: It does, too. I'm going to check the remote play app now.

Edit 2: The remote play app does too.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Sony catching up with the times.

Now, about changing PSN IDs...

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Sweet, just activated it.

Can I use the same mobile for two accounts? I have an American one with Battlefront.

3 more years. Soony

 

[Atomski]

What's next Half-life 3?

 

[Auto_aim1]

There for EU and PAL regions too, can confirm!

 

[Demoskinos]

Pretty much.

You do that for the FIRST time. Once you log in once via the new device password you can then just use your proper SCEA password.

 

[cress2000]

I wish a phone wasn't needed for this. So far I've been safe with a unique, randomly generated password though. And I don't have payment info saved just in case.

 

[Finishoff]

Had someone trigger a password reset this week on my PSN account.
Using this feature as added security. My email already had this feature enabled.

 

[DragoonKain]

So do you need to do this every time you turn on your PS4/3/Vita or is it only when you actually need to physically login again? Like after major updates, purchases through the site?

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Piece of mind is always good to have

 

[Trouble]

About damn time.

 

[Demoskinos]

For PS4 if you ever completely log out yes you'll need a code to sign back in keep in mind though that the PS4 will stay "signed in" as long as you never actually go to the menu and hit log out.

For older devices you need to generate a device password which is basically a way for them to make you verify that you own the devices that your trying to log in from. Once you use the generated device passwords you can then use your regular password any time after that from what ive gathered.

By "generate a device password" do you mean if you want to login to on PS3 they text you a new password, you use that, then after that you only need your normal password?

This literally answered the question I was going to ask, thank you!
