Sony seems to be taking security steps quite seriously for its PSN accounts as it has now introduced a two-step verification process for the same. Although it is an optional measure, it seems to be quite an important one and would be recommended for users especially the ones who have their credit/debit card details saved on their accounts.
The two step authentication process will generate a (six digit) code whenever a user tries to log in to their PSN account and it will be sent to them through a text over the registered number. Once received, the user must enter the code in order to proceed to the signing in process.
To set up the two-step verification process, you need to turn on your PS4 > Settings > PlayStation Network Account Management > Account Information > Security > 2- Step Verification. You can also do the same by logging in to your PSN account on the web and head over to the ‘Security’ tab, from where you would be guided by instructions.
Other major players like Battle.net (Blizzard), Steam have already implemented the process a while back and this should be a must for players who want to keep their account safer.
Sony has recently also been in the news as apparent images of a slimmer version of PS4 surfaced online. They have also confirmed PlayStation ‘Neo’ and likely it will be competing with Microsoft’s Xbox Scorpio.
