Channu Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 9 minutes ago, silica said: Change your password and activate 2FA (not SMS 2FA), when doing this it will provide a prompt to log out of all devices. That should solve your problem, if someone else has logged in to your account. Preferably, remove your CC or Debit Card details from your account. Buy and redeem the game from any online retailer or buy gift cards and redeem them on your account if you want to buy on the PS Store. Why not SMS 2FA ?

Application based TOTP or U2F hardware tokens are better MFA options, when available. Ranking of security for MFA options: Best - U2F hardware tokens Runner up - Application based TOTP Worst - SMS OTP @0verlord I am not sure if the XSX/S or the PS5 has u2f implemented for now. But, it will be coming sometime in the future. The Microsoft Authenticator is fine, you can use it for the PS4/5 as well. https://www.yubico.com/in/works-with-yubikey/catalog/microsoft-accounts/ Edited June 10, 2021 by silica 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone doesn't even have to be online. The app will display codes on rotation and you can input them while logging in. What from when ? i never got that option ? Works with google authenticator too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I always end up forgetting registering one or the other 2fa account... You can backup restore with google auth. i do that , but yes if you forget youre screwed. i was once lol XD 4 hours ago, Jerush said: Omg... Everytime I buy something on PSN, it asks me to renter CVV and expiry saying "your last login was on a different PS4." Does that mean my account could be hacked too? Thought it was some stupid bug 100% get pass changed and 2fa on . your account is probably one of 100's sold online for cheap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be gone unfortunately. I was using a UK PSN account as primary since the PS3 days. At the time you couldn't change your country on your PSN account (not sure if you still can) but I had reached out to Sony to see if there was any way to transfer trophy data to my Indian account and they said no. For saves, I think you can copy them on a USB stick. I haven't tried transferring saves across accounts though, not even sure if it can be done. But you should be able to still play your games locally with the local save files. Edited June 10, 2021 by psinide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, there should not be any issue with games already downloaded and your locally saved game saves. But don't worry, account should be recovered once you prove your identity. Give it 48-72 hours, thats their usual turn around time Edited June 10, 2021 by psinide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These hackers target inactive accounts. 2fa is absolutely critical these days. I regularly get such e-mail updates from one of my inactive steam accounts. They mostly use brute force based hacking methods. I think you should start afresh. Edited June 10, 2021 by radicaldude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you were using the same password as PSN on any other breached sites, chances are they got the account from there.
