5 Tips to Secure Your PSN Account

Keep your PlayStation account safe!

2-Step Verification

Two-step verification is a handy tool that has been around for a while but is slowly growing in popularity among online services. Sony has implemented the tried-and-true security system into the PlayStation Network, so now you can have even more protection from someone trying to phish your account.

2-Step Verification is a process where when you login to your account, you'll receive a text message with a code, and then you put the code into the PS4 to finish logging in. Simple!

To setup 2-Step Verification, head over to PlayStation.com, scroll to the bottom and click “Activate 2-Step Verification”. Follow the steps to set it all up! The way 2-Step works is that whenever you sign into your PSN account, you will receive a text message with a code which you will need to enter before you can login. This means that anyone who somehow accesses your account, will not be able to log in unless they have the 2-Step code.
