As you use your PS5 account, you will find out that security and privacy measures are important. These allow you to protect you and your account. With so many incidents out there that we have seen regarding account losses, account recovery, identity or information theft, this becomes increasingly important.
This is why having a way for you to recover or sign in into your account when those things happen to you is really useful. In this short tutorial, we will provide you with the steps you can obtain your backup code which you can use for later, in urgent, serious situations or simply times when you forget your password.
How to View All Back Up Codes on PS5 Account
In order to view your Backup Code on your PS5 Account, follow these steps. First, from the start menu or interface, select Settings. In the Settings Menu, scroll all the way down to Users and Accounts. Then, select it, which will lead you to the settings for your accounts.
After that, in the Account Menu, select Security. In this section, you will be able to set security features for your account.
Then, in Security, you will want to look for a 2-Step Verification Option. Here you can choose ‘Backup Codes’ or ‘Learn More’. In order to obtain your Backup Code, choose Backup Codes.
After that, a Backup Code will be sent to you. You will see that there is an example of a situation when you can make use of this code. You can use this code if you cannot receive verification codes, this will help you to sign in your PS5 Account.
It is highly recommended for you to record these backup codes and save them for future use. Keep it in mind that each backup code can be used only once. This means that after you use your backup code, you will need to get another one and keep it for later.
However, if you’re in a situation where you’re not able to keep your backup codes and locked from the account, you’ll need to contact Playstation Support and have them disable your two-step verification. After that, you’ll gain access to your account again. Now, make sure to keep the backup codes this time if you don’t want to go to the same process over again.
Nobody knows what will happen to your account and we all have a risk of our accounts being invaded. This is why it is always important for you to keep a backup code for yourself for times when you run into technical issues, log-in issues, password problems or other emergencies.
