By activating 2FA, anyone looking to sign into your account will also need to have access to a portable mobile device that is linked to your PS5 to login, even if they get he password correct the first time.
But how on earth do you access 2FA on a PS5 and activate it? Well, that is what we are here to show you:
- Head to Settings
- Select “Users and Accounts”
- Select “Security”
- Select “S-Step Verification”
- Select either Text Message if you want to use your Phone Number of Authenticator App if you want to use 2FA with an app instead for multiple devices.
- Follow the instructions for each one on the screen depending on your choice and verify your login.
- Make sure to keep a copy of the backup codes on-screen in case you lose access to your devices.
Do all this and your account and console should be secured.
