PSN Login Account : How to create an account on PlayStation Network

You have to verify your PSN Account by Login in to PlayStation Network (PSN) on a PlayStation 5 Console. Sign in to PlayStation.com with your PSN account details to send/receive messages, view your game library, manage your subscriptions and more.

When you sign in to PlayStation™Network (PSN) on a PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console with 2SV active, you are asked to:

  1. Enter your account password and sign-in ID (email address).
  2. Enter the verification code from your authenticator app or the SMS that was sent to your registered mobile phone number.*

*The verification code is valid for 10 minutes after your sign-in attempt. If your code has expired, select Resend Code from the sign-in screen to receive a new code.

2SV on PS3 consoles and PS Vita

When 2SV is activated*, a player signing in on a PS3 console or PS Vita/TV system for the first time will be asked to:

  1. Enter their account sign-in ID (email address).
  2. Enter the Device Setup Password, instead of the usual account password.

When to use 2-step verification

Accounts usually remain signed in. However, you will be sent a verification code if:

  • you are signing in for the first time after switching on 2SV,
  • you manually sign out of PlayStation Network and want to sign back in,
  • you reset your account password,
  • you change your sign-in ID (email address) or online ID.
