RuinousOne25 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 So I just received this problem last night when it came to trying to sign in on the Vita. My regular password I couldn’t use to log in because of something with a 2-step verification method. Thing is, I don’t have the 2-step method activated for logging on and when I go on my systems. I did activate it briefly just to get it to work (which I managed to connect), generated a password, but I deactivated it afterwards when I needed to do something on the PSN on that system. Is there any way to fix it? Do I have to keep 2-step verification on JUST to play on the Vita? All of this just feels like a massive inconvenience for me.

skazzzz4 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Just had this problem too. Can't sync trophies to PSN. Tried changing password and tried turning on 2-step verification. Nothing works and I am completely locked out of updating trophies. Worked just fine when I was on the Vita store earlier but now I'm locked out of that too. EDIT: I have the solution. -log in to playstation.com from a computer or mobile device. -click your icon in the upper right and choose "account settings" and "security" -find the option to generate a device password and click it. It will generate a random password. -go back to your Vita and use this special password instead of your normal password. -it should log you in and you can use your normal password moving forward. This worked for me. Edited April 20, 2022 by skazzzz4 More info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuinousOne25 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I did the generate password thing and it still didn’t work, only reason it doesn’t work is because I don’t have 2 step activation on at all but the system STILL thinks it’s that. EDIT: After messing around with PSN and the 2 step thing I no longer deal with that issue now, it’s just odd you NEED to have it on just to get it to work.
