You no longer need to enter your password every time you log in to your PlayStation account. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) launched password support for PlayStation accounts, which means you can simply log in via your mobile device or computer and use its screen unlock method to log in. If you use a PIN, your fingerprint, or your face to unlock your phone, for example, this is also how you can access your PlayStation account. On desktop, we were easily able to link our account to 1Password and use its password capability.
In his Official page For the update, the company discusses the benefits of using passwords, such as reducing account vulnerability. Access keys cannot be reused or given away, either inadvertently or intentionally, as SIE explains, making them resistant to phishing and data breaches.
To set up a password, simply go to Security under Account Management. There you can enable the option and create a password by following the on-screen instructions. The company warns that some hardware security keys could cause problems and that it might be better to use synced passkeys on mobile devices instead. It also warns against using mobile PINs as passwords on Android and recommends iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password and Dashlane as password providers. After setting up the option, you will be prompted to use your password every time you need to sign in on a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 console. However, you can deactivate the option at any time if you want to return to signing in with a password.
