PlayStation Network account “password” login alternative “passkey” is fully online
An innovative and secure way to log in to your PlayStation Network account has been introduced as an alternative to traditional passwords. The new “passkey” feature provides a faster and more convenient way to access your account while also enhancing security measures.
According to the official description page, “Password” offers two key advantages over passwords. Firstly, it eliminates the need to manually enter a password, saving time and allowing for quicker access to games. Secondly, passkeys are more secure as they cannot be guessed or reused, are linked directly to your PlayStation Network account, and can only be accessed by you.
To switch to the passkey login alternative, users must log in to their PlayStation Network account and follow a few simple steps. For example, iPhone users can choose to store their passkey in the “iCloud Keychain” for added convenience.
Once the passkey is set up, users can log in to their accounts using fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code from their mobile device or computer. This streamlined process not only improves efficiency but also reduces the risk of security breaches associated with traditional password systems.
If users decide to revert back to using a password for logging in, they can easily disable the passkey feature and create a new password through the account settings.
Overall, the introduction of the “passkey” login alternative represents a significant step towards enhancing the user experience and security of the PlayStation Network. By offering a more convenient and secure method of access, users can enjoy a seamless gaming experience without the hassle of remembering passwords.
