PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Last night I tried to sign in and it said I needed to change my password. I just wanna know why and why now?

Is it like a new thing where we have to change our passwords every few months?

Has this happened to anyone else? (oh and btw, when i try to sign in on this website to post this, its fine)

When did you last use your console? After the hack last year everybody had to change their password.

yesterday morning, it was fine and i could sign in.

And now it seems to be ok. after i posted the message above i tried to sign into psn on my ps3 just to see if it said "you need to change your password" but it didn't this time and now it's ok. bit strange to me.

yesterday it said "you need to change your password" and today its fine. hmm.......weird

I had this a couple of weeks ago, cancelled and signed in as normal. Hasn't occurred since.

This is a security feature brought in after the hacks last year.

If PSN detects what it thinks is suspicious activity it will prompt the user to change their password upon signing in, signing into that account should be prevented until the password can be changed or the user cancels the change.
