It's

about

fucking

time

 

[ipukespiders]

Got my verification code and it just so happened to come from the same number as a steam confirmation code from back in April.

 

[RedSwirl]

Now they just need to eventually get it working through the PlayStation app.

 

[mokalovesoulmate]

Sony and Valve might using the same SMS gateway service.

 

[Blablurn]

Got my verification code and it just so happened to come from the same number as a steam confirmation code from back in April.

It's a trap!

 

[Floody]

Set it up, thanks for the heads up OP, all the threads popping up lately had me a little worried I'd be next.

 

[Kumo]

Finally some peace of mind. Thanks OP, just finished setting it up.

 

[DragoonKain]

If for whatever reason someone needs to disable this, do you go back to your original PW on your other devices or still use the device setup PW?

 

[crimilde]

One thing to note is that 2-FA can't be activated apparently if you have linked your account to another Sony group service. I use mine on their cameras-centric site and the 2-FA activation page errors out when trying to set it up on the website and tells me that my email is already used with a Sony group service if I try to do it from the console. Ugh.

 

[Saberus]

Now they just need to eventually get it working through the PlayStation app.

I have the app on my android phone and after I enabled the 2 step, I logged out of the app and when I tried to log back in, I had to use the 2-step.

 

[Mononoaware]

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't had my account hacked before *knock on wood*, but couldn't hurt to have this extra security with how often it happens.

 

[joebruin]

This can go in the op

[MegaManTrigger]

Is there a point in having 2-step if your password gets overridden in the case of PS3/Vita? It seems like you're more at risk considering the generated password is probably something simple like JADFHSKD instead of being complicated.

 

[KyleCross]

I hope for the PlayStation App will eventually be how you get the code instead of text message.

It's pretty complicated and it's per device (I have 2 ps3s).

 

[Gradly]

Finally

It seems worldwide as I have it on all my 4 different region PSNs, US, UK, JP, ME

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Lol

Finally....

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

You shouldn't be using CC's on your gaming services EVER in the first place.

Get PSN codes from the store.

ps vue only takes CC payments so I usually renew with the CC then take it off.

 

[Tainted]

Ive had it enabled on my Aussie account for a week or so....glad to be able to enable it for my US account now.

Now for them to provide a way to verify using an app rather than SMS...but I'm not holding my breath

No sure what you mean? Here's an example of some generated passwords (likely much stronger than what most people who created their own use):

The whole point is so that each device gets its own password and if one gets compromised you can simply revoke it through your account settings without having to change your master password or revoke any other devices.e

 

[linnu5]

It's also up for the brazilian PSN.

 

[outunderthestars]

About time! Kudos to Sony for implementing it!

 

[Gradly]

Anyone having a problem accessing the Account Management page?

I can successfully access the web store on Desktop, and even mobile, with 2SV enabled, but when I try to access the Account Management page it will result in a loop, entering login credentials, then the received code, then will again show the login page, then send another verification code and it just keeps doing that

All of them work on your same phone number? Just checking before I enable on my accounts.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

It's pretty complicated and it's per device (I have 2 ps3s).

Oh now I get it. If you activate 2-step security, you really only have to do it once, and then you use your standard password for PSN.

 

[Tainted]

Oh now I get it. If you activate 2-step security, you really only have to do it once, and then you use your standard password for PSN.

On the PS3/Vita, you replace your normal password with the generated device password. If you're logging into your account screen on the website though, then you use your normal PSN password.

 

[Gradly]

All of them work on your same phone number? Just checking before I enable on my accounts.

Like any other service, it will show you a list of all countries in the world to choose from

 

[cw_sasuke]

Great news... Especially since they are releasing new consoles soon.

 

[Grim Patron]

Like any other service, it will show you a list of all countries in the world to choose from

Thanks

 

[KingJ2002]

Update: Seems to be up everywhere else too.

You can find it under Settings>PlayStation Network/Account Management>Account Information>Security>2-Step Verification



Note: I'm running 4.0 beta 3, so I can't be sure if it's available to everyone running the old firmware.

Should be able to set it up here as well: https://account.sonyentertainmentne.../view-security.action?displayNavigation=false

For PS3 and Vita you have to go to http://idp.dn/device-password to generate a password.

Thanks for the heads up... just activated it for my account.

 

[D.Va]

FINALLY.

Ah now that makes sense. Having both your PSN password for your account and device password tied to your PS3/Vita should make things a lot more manageable, even if it's an inconvenience in terms of already having a strong unique password.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Finally. Just set it up.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Took them fucking forever, but glad it's here now. Set it up fully.

 

[Vasili2K38]

Finally! Count me in, the SMS service seems fast and now I'll be more relaxed with my account security. Let's hope that the PSN accounts hacking will be more difficult after this.

 

[KaoteK]

Done, really glad I can use a Cambodian number on a US account.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

 

[calder]

Ugh, don't be dumb like me and go add a mobile number to your account but flake on actually enabling the 2SV. Glad I double checked and was confused when logging back into the website didn't prompt me for a code.

 

[Ludens]

Live in Italy too, just activated.

 

[idonteven]

finally

 

[LiK]

Thanks OP, activated.

 

[dragn]

is it for pw/email changes too? or only login?

 

[Wollan]

Activated. Norway.

 

[spazimoose]

A moment of silence for all the FIFA and Neverwinter scammers who are out of a job.

Spoiler

Good riddance

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

Turned it on (US here), used the device password on my PS3 and Vita. Not very complicated, feels nice having this set up. Still going to continue using currency cards to fund my wallet though.

On a side note, it's funny how the Sony verification codes texted to me are from the same number I get Xbox and Steam verification codes from too o_o

 

[Roshin]

Well, it's done.

 

[DemoCracy]

Finally, Sony has done this simple job.

 

[YianGaruga]

Is it true that it doesn't remember a device/browser on PC and needs a code for every login?

 

[Andvary]

Is it true that it doesn't remember a device/browser on PC and needs a code for every login?

Yes, it's annoying.

 

[Mengetsu]

I hope for the PlayStation App will eventually be how you get the code instead of text message.

Same. I don't have a cell phone so I can't even use this :/

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I will say, how they set up the two-step for Vita/PS3 is weird. Just in case, I'm keeping the password somewhere just in case my Vita wants to fucking forget it.
