[PS4] OH shit | PS4’S 2-STEP VERIFICATION REPORTEDLY COMING TO AUSTRALIa

[solid47snake]

According to a Sony support worker, Australia and New Zealand will finally be getting 2-step verification on PS4 later tonight or tomorrow morning, with the plan to roll it out to other regions next week.

2-step verification has been spoken about for a long while by PlayStation. It is much needed as PSN accounts are a well-known target for hackers.

It will essentially work as an SMS service. You will need to put your mobile number on your account and any new login will require a code that will be SMS’d to the number on the account.

Anything that isn’t a PS4 will work a little bit differently. PS3/Vita will use a “Device Code” which will be an additional password that you can have for the account in addition to your actual password.


I think we're doomed guys , if you are thinking of buying a ps4 account . Do it now while there's no 2-step verification.

Well, not everyone will use this feature and if they are already stupid enough to use a shitty password, they most likely won't use it

Spoke with someone at Netflix and they said they're looking a Google Authenticator 2FA solution soon.
