PS3 UPDATE 4.89/PSVITA UPDATE 3.74 & Device sign in Password.

[VSW]

Was looking around the Vita hacks Reddit for more info and it’s actually sort of a good thing.The PS3&Vita are massive security risks to user accounts.You could bruteforce accounts using the PS3 and PS Vita requests to bypass all captcha, and all rate limits, etc.

So by forcing everyone to use device passwords they can effectively break this method right here as even the correct password will not be accepted.

Now the only way is to abuse the password reset function to determine the Date of Birth of any PSN account.Which is a security question required to initate a Password Reset.

The create account were also used by spam botters, to bypass captcha in creating an account that would then message you porn and other shit.

I actually had to activate 2 factor authentication on my main and alt PSN and use a device setup password on my PS3 and Vita around mid last year.My alt accounts password kept getting changed and every time I reset it the password would be changed again a few days later.

VSW Here’s how to sign in to PSN on PS3:

Please note, account creation and some account management features are now only available from a PC or mobile browser. This is to improve overall system performance.


How to sign in to PlayStation Network on a PS3 console or PS Vita system

To sign in to PlayStation Network, use your Device Setup Password instead of your account password.

• On your PS3 console or PS Vita system, enter your sign-in ID (email address) and your Device Setup Password when you need to sign in to PlayStation Network.
  
• This will authorize the device. Tick the box to enable auto sign-in. If you choose not to enable auto sign-in, you will need to enter your Device Setup Password each time you sign in.*
  

Yea thanks I was able to do it on 3 of my Profiles ya just gotta get the generated password.
The thing is You have to use your password to sign into your PSN account on a PC/Laptop & generated password they give is used on your PS3 or Vita.

My other issue was I had/have to change old obsolete E-Mail addresses on my accounts as Lus.com email service just poof up & gone, & my other emails by a different service just were so old I couldn't get in. Thank goodness for Proton.
And secondly as I mentioned this update may screw with the display settings.
If your display setting on your PS3 16:9 & for whatever reason you're using an AV cable, you'll have to switch to 4:3 480i because the VR keyboard cannot be seen. No text imputs can be made.
Switch to 4:3 & the keyboard & inputs will work.
