How To Set Up A PS5 Passkey On PSN To Log In Without A Password
You can never be too safe in the digital age, and for PlayStation users looking to get both convenience and extra security, a PS5 passkey service is now available. The appeal of a passkey system is that it provides an easier and secure method for accessing your PlayStation Network account, especially when you don’t want to type out a long password key every time. Using this system, you can sign in through your mobile device or computer using a pin or a biometric safety feature like your fingerprint or a face scan.
It’s faster and allows you to access your games more quickly, and because passkeys are only generated once per session, you have an added layer of protection against cyberattacks.
