Either with the QR code on the screen or by going to the URL shown onscreen.

When did this become a thing? I turned it on like last week after a long while (finally got a new controller) and it also updated then, but I was still able to sign directly into my account on it without having to set up a "device password".

So it's this:

Weird how they're still updating this thing nearly two decades after its launch.

So, in order to log into the PSN on my PS3 now, I need to actually have it generate a password via the link or a mobile device. I can't log in with my regular PSN password anymore.

What is this absolute garbage?

Two factor authentication, is this your first time firing up the PS3 since 2012?

I've played my PS3 later than that, but that was never required. Nor was it required last week or so.

You also can no longer add funds to your PSN wallet directly from the PS3 or Vita consoles; you have to do so via outside browsers or on a PS4/PS5.
