There are a few out there but I've only used one, 1Password. I can't really comment on any of the other but I assume they do the same stuff.
People. PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.
REMOVE YOUR GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING PAYMENT INFO FROM PSN.
Good luck OP. You have my sympathies.
And if I want to log in on a computer that doesn't have the password manager installed? Or on a device that can't install the password manager, like a PS4?
Password managers are only a reasonable solution in certain situations.
It is.I'm checking the list of activated systems I have on the account site. Can anyone confirm if the PSTV is considered a Vita? I have 2 Vitas activated even though I only own 1.
Speaking of passwords and all that, what are the good password managers people use? I've never used one before.

I use a paper password book and it is locked in my fire safe.
I'm pretty sure all of the password managers I listed are also available on phones and tablets so you can take it with you if you are away from your computer and need to use passwords on other devices.
It's not a perfect solution but considering the amount of data breaches lately (https://twitter.com/haveibeenpwned) it's a good one.

Why does this keep popping up on GAF? Sony needs to fix their security protocols.
Yes. It is.Are you sure it's because of Sony's security protocols, though?
Yes. It is.
Why don't people learn to never keep credit card details on psn. I delete everytime I add money to the account. Never risk these things.

Not having 2 factor authentication is laughable. They just seem so clueless after suffering such a damaging original hack. Steam has it. Uplay has it. Microsoft has it. Even Origin, which everyone loves to shit on, has 2 factor authentication. Yeah. Sony does a worse job than EA.
Whatever you do, don't do a charge back.
What gaf needs to do as a collective is tweet shu and Shawn Leyden and get these guys to fix Sony's customer service problems.
They are the industry leader now because of us and they treat us like a piece of shit. So many threads recently it's insane.

Hackers get usernames and passwords from several places and if people are... ehm... not-very-clever, they use the same username and pass for many services.
What if someone steals your safe?
Microsoft 2way sucks compared to Googles though. If they just do email like almost everyone else, it is not a bih step forward.
They should set it up so psplus owners get sms.
Two-factor would stop this.

Prepaid cards
It's not cheap or 100% reliable though either. It's all about cost benefit analysis with any company. I've heard up to 15% of SMS verification texts fail because of network issues or just simply having the wrong number on file. How many people use their real phone number on psn? How do you verify it isn't being spoofed by the hackers? How much volume is this new feature driving to their customer phone support?
I think a blizzard style authenticator on your phone would be best because they already have a PlayStation app. Idk why that isn't an option. It seems like it would cause less issues. Make it voluntary and if you don't opt in and use it then take the hardline stance on refunds and chargebacks.
So it's not their fault because it hasn't happened to you?
Some of the posts in this thread. Rarely see this with MS, Steam or even Nintendo. It's always Sony accounts getting hacked and it is a regular occurence.
Where the fuck is two step?
This happened to my friend a couple of weeks ago. i used the live support chat and got his account back within minutes. I just told them someone hacked my account bought nba 2k16 and changed the password. She asked about the account nickname, and email attached to it only (I wasn't asked about the address or date of birth or serial number etc...)
She then sent an email to reset password and that was that. Hell my friend kept nba 2k16 too. It was weird that his account got stolen in the first place considering he doesn't play online or buy digital games.
Yup. I never kept it on there, but I still got hacked and had FIFA cards bought with the $60 credit I had on there from prepaid cards. Bullshit Sony never refunded anything :/DON'T STORE PAYMENT INFO ON PSN

DON'T STORE PAYMENT INFO ON PSN
I'm sorry but until Sony gets into the 21st century, nobody should be storing payment info on their network. PSN cards only.
I am not sure if it's related but I was just informed that the card that I use for PSN exclusively (PSN Visa Card from CapitalOne) is currently locked due to multiple failed login attempt.
The only times my credit card information was stolen are related to PSN. 5 years ago someone charged $5000 to my Amex linked to PSN. And now someone maybe trying to pull the same stunt it seems.
Can't believe we have people here on Sony's side..Their policies dealing with compromised accounts is terrible
dog2005 aint a great password

Blows me away how many people keep financial info tied to these accounts. Any quick Google search or paying attention to the industry would prove that to be a terrible idea.
Use prepaid cards and cross this worry off the list.
So after the first time of getting railed for $5k you put another card on there? Wtf?
