PSN account password (suddenly) incorrect

[Ghanupher]

Hi everyone!

 

As of today, it's the second time in a month that I find that my PS3 is not connecting to PSN due to "the password is incorrect" message.

 

Thing is, I have my PS3 settings to connect automatically to the internet, so there's no wrong input from my end.

 

Something to note, this is a used PS3 I bought a month ago, perhaps the issue it's something related to that?

 

Is my account being hacked in some way?

 

I'm clueless

 

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue, I think Sony just fucked around with security on older systems and messed something up lol. Turning 2-factor authentication and generating the console password seems to fix the problem. You can't turn it off after though, otherwise, the password won't work again. That happened to me with 3 different accounts. I couldn't log in on ps3 or browser but I could on ps4/5, but I had to use the security code sent to email to log in.

Much discussion on the forums already about this

Thanks! Then I guess I'm not the only one...
