GanjiMex Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I've been having trouble since last night to log in onto the PS3 PSN. I've reset my password like 3 times and yet it still won't log in, even thought it logs in other websites. Tried 2FA, doesn't work Any work around this issue? I just got the Tekken Tag 2 online pass and I'm eager to obtain the last 2 trophies I need for platinum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enabled 2FA, your PS3 is assigned it's own console password you need to use, it won't be your PSN password.

I've inputted the 2FA, still says Wrong Password. I don't even have a PS4, why would I even bother with enabling that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to request another one and try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe request another one anyway and see if that one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Sony totally messed up PS3 security some time ago. You have to generate a separate password for this PS3.

This is the first time this error happened to me, literally every other time I would use the same password and I would log in with no problems...

Does your 2-Step Verification show Status Active on that page? We're not Sony Support for your console. We're just some people in a forum trying to provide solutions that have worked for some of us here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Follow @Smashero's instructions. You need to use device password for PS3 (or Vita) because they don't support logging in with 2FA code. The device password bypasses 2FA. Alternatively, you could disable 2FA but I would not recommend that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Had to use this 2FA thing. Spent like 40 minutes talking to some Indian at the Sony Support Chat to fix this. You had more logical reasoning than the guy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
