How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for PlayStation

To keep your PlayStation account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how PlayStation 2FA works, which methods PlayStation supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your PlayStation 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.

2FA methods PlayStation supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.
