Players can enable this new feature for easier logins to their PlayStation Network accounts, replacing clunky old passwords with simpler solutions such as biometric sign-ins and PINs. At the same time, Sony also makes the case that passkeys are more secure, making it harder for malicious third parties to access your account information.
Before you start setting up passkeys, it’s important to note that you can always stick to using a password and two-factor authentication, and you can always switch back afterward. Setting up a PS5 can be difficult enough, so if you prefer to continue using a tried and tested sign-in method, then it’s always available to you.

You can follow the same steps to set up more than one passkey, in case you prefer having multiple options for signing in.
If you prefer to switch back to using a password, sign back into your account and select the Security tab again. You can then edit and deactivate passkeys under the “Sign In with Passkey” section. If you do this, you’ll be asked to set up a new password. You may need to sign-in again on other devices before you can tweak your account settings or buy 2024’s best PS5 games off the PlayStation Store.
PlayStation Support should be able to help you resolve any issues.
