Wow. Sony now requires two-step verification and you need to input your phone number. Unlike Steam, it isn't fucking optional.
What the fuck? What about us who don't have smartphones or phones at all?
>>335175913
You should probably buy a phone before a console.
>if 2 step verification is active
>if
sounds optional to me m8
2 factor authentication is something that steam and psn should've implemented ages ago. It boggles my mind that retards are complaining about a company that's trying to bolster their customer's cybersecurity.
It says
>if 2 step verification is active
Which seems to imply optional, but I cant be arsed to test it but if true sony is just getting shittier and shittier
>>335175913
>What the fuck? What about us who don't have smartphones or phones at all?
You're not old enough to read yet, so you're not old enough for a cell phone. Damn today's parents who give cell phones to their children.

Doesn't sound optional to me

why did you delete >>335176423
this post that clearly showed that the article never mentions the word mandatory and then post this one without the article included instead?
Does this make my account more secure? I'm always worried Sony will fuck up again.

Take a guess.
As long as I dont need to verify every time I log in. I dont own a cellphone so I'd have to use someone elses and thats a fucking pain
>>335176560
I don't see the correlation between those two.
this sucks with alternate accounts, Am I gonna need a different cellphone for different regions? will a different region cellphone even work?
>>335175913
4chan is great because it teaches you to be so fucking skeptical of bullshit posts that purposefully try to start controversy for the sake of clicks or chaos.
A great tool to have on the modern Internet
>>335176969
Well anon, it's something called 'money'. Which is exchanged for goods and services. You can exchange your PC for money by trading with people with an interest in buying your PC, which can then be used to buy a smartphone, which then can be used to solve your problem.
>>335177204
Why would he need to get rid of his computer for a phone?
>>335177280
I don't know. You tell me.
>>335175913
Why do you not have a smartphone? You could probably set up a google voice account if you really just need a phone number.
>>335176304
BUT MUH PHONE NUMBER
I DON'T WANT GABEN TO KNOW IT HE MIGHT PRANK CALL ME XD
> 2016
> being under 70
> smartphones are under £40/$
You have literally no excuse to not have a smartphone, especially if you've got a console.
>>335177387
I'm not OP, but I would value my computer over playing games on a console that I'm already paying a subscription fee for.
Its optional, OP is a dingus.
>>335176568
My PS3's auto login is disabled, each time I turn it on and login to PSN manually I never get a verification check.
Quit being a retard. You're probably one of those dumbfucks who says the PS3 can't play PS1 discs despite having never tried it on your own console. Spoiler retard: Every PS3 can play PS1 discs.
/x/ get out
>>335177462
I've had my current phone for... 7-8 years now.
Man, I don't really use it for much but it's lasted me so long I'd miss the poor fucker if I got a new one.
>>335177508
Then there's no problem is there?
Are you by any chance one of them, mentally deficients?
>WOW WHY IS SONY MAKING PSN MORE SECURE
Fuck off retard
Even 70 year old grandparents have flip phones. You're just a faggot reject who belongs in >>>/r9k/
But is my credit information still stored in notepad?
BECAUSE I THINK YOU SHOULD FIX THAT ISSUE FIRST, SONY.
>>335176014
I had a phone once. Nobody calls me. I call nobody. It was just another useless expense.
>>335177654
The problem is being locked out of a console I'm already paying a subscription fee for. Both would be nice, but I would pick the computer first given an ultimatum.
please drink verification can
>>335177462
yeah cuz sony is so trustworthy about its security the only concern would be if you actually own a phone or not.
>>335177770
Then stop paying your subscription fee.
I feel sorry for carers that have to deal with autism on a daily basis.

Yup, same deal.

Wow, blunder of the century, put that money to use already and protect our accounts.
>they implement tighter security measures
Wow, what the fuck are you doing, what is this, a police state?
I'd hate to work in the video games industry. It is literally impossible to please anyone.
yes giving sony even more personal information is surely a good idea
>>335178159
>just give verizon your money for a second subscription fee to use something you already own ;)
so now when sony leaks all over the place, instead of just leaking your name, address, credit card, emails, account names, passwords, it now leaks your phone number too
>>335178115
>ps3
Who literally, LITERALLY cares? Also calling me names isn't nice.
>>335178248
You are genuinely mentally retarded. The issues with Sony's security in the past were entirely on their end. They stored information in plain text with no encryption.
Now, rather than improve security they are shuffling the responsibility onto users and making us put up with unnecessary bullshit.
Yes goyim! why dont you own a $600 smartphone yet? Everyone has one! you dont want to be uncool and look weird right? You want to be accepted into society and be like the rest! come on just buy it and give me all your personal information and money.
>implying any of it matters when the company itself gets hacked

Is the only insult you know to call someone retard or autistic? Or is this some meme that has become sentient from consistent shitposting?
>b-b-but they are just improving their security
this doesn't improve their security at all, it's just to protect your personal account from password attacks, if sony gets hacked again your 2 factor authentication is worthless

Somalian detected
>>335177462
If you own a computer there's not much reason to own a smartphone, especially if you're not on the go a lot.
It's just this extraneous device that everyone expects you to have now because normalfags use it instead of a computer.

>>335178598
Computers have a lot of use for me. Smartphones have no functions that appeal to me. Hell, I don't even have an old cellphone. My work doesn't require one and when I call people I call them from my home. I don't go outside and then have a phone conversation in public instead of doing outside things.
>>335178398
Says the absolute invalid over here. TFA is a great security measure. Sony was retarded with their security once, while users will forever be retarded with their security.
>>335178539
I like to keep my insults relevant. When I call people a retard, that's not because I'm using a Go-To word to express displeasure at them, I actually believe they are retarded.
It's ok when Sony does it.
>>335175913
>2016
>not having a smartphone
Source for this? Because it seems doubtful mates.
>>335178847
Why should I be forced to go through bullshit just because some other people use "password" as their password? This feature should be optional.
>>335179039
is is optional, OP is just shitposting
Why do these companies want more and more data from me? Sure it must be for some altruistic reason.
>>335179039
Next thing you're going to tell me is that a pin should be optional when putting a debit card into an atm. It helps everyone in the long run.
>>335179039
I'm kind of neutral on it. It should be for optional stuff, like in-game trading and all that. I've seen alot of people do poor decisions, so I can't blame sony for this. I don't blame valve either.

It's to prevent you from making anonymous accounts that can't be traced to you. There's billions of dollars in creating profiles on people and selling it to every company on Earth. This is where most of Google's money comes from, and its the reason major email providers demand personal information and confirmation.

If you read PIN out instead of using the acronym, that's what you'd get, yes.
When you use the acronym it is fine.
>>335179568
>>people are okay with giving sony their credit card number and address but not their phone number
Who says they are?
>giving info to Sony
I buy every digital game with gift cards. I dont know why you all risk your CC info.
>>335179568
You don't have to give Sony your card number. Anyone who does is a fucking moron.
The only companies that I give my card details to are Amazon and Paypal, largely because I assume that they can't afford to fuck it up as it's the main part of their business
>>335179601
its not mandatory.
>>335179672

No, because there's no such thing as a PIN without a number. It's redundant. And retarded. It's a PIN, nothing else.

No, because you're the retard who trusts companies with your information just because they're a company.

Either way, 2 factor authentication is a good thing.

>>335180973
Are you seriously implying a lifeless NEET does not live with their parents? I know I wouldn't care about emergency contact if I didn't, because I would just kill myself, I'm not willing to actually work for anything in my life and I am living on their grace alone.

>Unless you have zero income, there's no way you shouldn't have a phone
Depends on the kind of work you do, but it can be arranged. As long as you are useful, at least.
>>335181252
Landlines are not nearly as useful or adaptable as cell phones
The only things that still use Landlines are small businesses and large alike that require the backup of having a POTS lines system. Everything else is fucking voip
>>335181238
>Unless you have zero income
Bingo
Has Sony said anything about letting people change their PSN usernames? I know they were talking about it. Is that going to happen?
>>335181352
One is related to the service and offers something I actually want/need.
The other is superfluous and would go unused by me.
>>335181452
Then why are you crying about some online verification system you don't even use?
>>335181297
Nope. Crack your 3ds and grab the 4chan app.
>>335181252
I disagree, a cellphone is necessary for anyone leaving the house. Home phones are almost completely deprecated, no one uses them that's under the age of 35.
Even so, how does that excuse your issue with SONY?

>pay for my sister's Netflix

The PS3 has TONS of games now. I have played nothing but PSN+ PS3 games and a few I picked up for cheap digitally(R&C trilogy, Enter the Nexus) since January after there was a dry spell on the PS4This also includes multiplats.

Who makes calls outside of their house? I could understand if you were arranging a meeting or had a job that requires constant contact, but most people don't.

>>335181252
>Landlines in 2016
Holy shit! The only places that actually need those are businesses, emergency services and government buildings.
If your phone runs out of battery, there are chargers for next to nothing.

How? Is your password literally "aaaaaa"? You have any idea how many possible combinations there can be for someone to find both your account and password ? Especially with the time-out put in on an IP if you make too many failed login attempts?
>>335181865
You're literally an antisocial artist if you don't own a cell phone regardless
Do you not get out meet friends or work?
Why can't we go back to when all we needed was [username] and [password]?
Now every corporations wants our information and/or wants to protect literal idiots from giving away their knife skins on steam.
You can call me a nostalgiafag all you want but you know it too that I'm right about this.

They just add your number to their records so they know who's phone data to buy/take you know that right?

Says the but that won't get a fucking job or a free Obama phone

Almost all providers have free text and calls now.
There's no fucking reason to even own a landline.

Where do you think you are?
And most jobs don't require a cellphone
>>335181989
because nowadays there are literally programs that anyone can download and use to figure out your password

>Sony never asks for your password anyway what the fuck are you talking about?
That's what scammers generally use you idiot. They claim to be employees/admins saying they're going to disable your account unless you let them "verify it" by giving out the password.
Only someone retarded would fall for it, right? Well that's who Sony assumes you to be.
>tfw I had to top up my £10 phone credit a few weeks ago that had been sitting there for almost 10 years
This smartphone shill should find a different board. I recommend /out/.

>obongo phone
fuck you even more. that nigger has wasted so many of our tax dollars on stupid shit like that, anyone that took one of those should be round up into camps and gassed for being so willing to accept free shit from the government.
>>335182053
Still has the same problem, anything that communicates over SS7 does.
>>335182153
What do you mean by store and share?

>Only smartphone is capable of SMS
I understand not having a smartphone or having a Windows Phone or a Blackberry, but how the fuck do you not own any kind of mobile phone at all?
>>335182269
They can call one at home. I never said I didn't have a phone, just not a cellphone.
>>335182234

Except botnet is not really made up of 95% of the population, and google gets plenty of shit thrown its way for all the data they collect.

We'll see. Everyone is asking for a phone number now and it's only a matter of time before it becomes mandatory.
>>335182153

You've never been to /g/ have you.
>>335182373
>what do you think?
I don't know. You could be referring to specific services like Google Drive or you could just mean that every website is running Google scripts and planting their cookies.
>>335182153
>sony asks for phone number
>you give it to them for security
>their info gets leaked and your account is compromised anyway
Sonyggers blown the fuck out yet again.
>>335175913
>What the fuck? What about us who don't have smartphones or phones at all?
2016
Also, you don't need a smartphone to receive txt messages.
>>335182375
>"wooow this other company fucks you in the ass, why be upset if another one does it?"
have you even read beyond the first fucking sentence?
sony asking you for your phone number for possible SMS verification is nowhere close to being fucked in the ass
>>335182494
Absolutely dank meme!!!!!!
>>335182269
They can call me on this
>>335182494
Call phone provider and say account is compromised and demand a new numbef
>>335182269
Why are you here if you aren't one? Seriously.
>>335175913
People bitched about sonys hack to their servers and stolen card info. Then bitch when they add more security. Make up your minds
>>335182243
And? Every system has vulnerabilities. Why are you on the internet right now if you're so afraid for your identity? I'll give you some credit if you're a tinfoil guy and only use open-source software and (mostly) hardware. Otherwise your fears are based on your ignorance and not actual concern.
>>335182587
>only autists visit 4chan
>normy get off my bored reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>335182628
Two-step verification won't matter when it's the server that's getting hacked.
>>335182469
i try to stay away.
>>335182494
>phone number gets 'leaked'
are you even old enough to know what this thing pictured is?
>>335182628
Completely different. Sony's internals were hacked and their user information, stored in plain text, was retrieved. No amount of security precautions on the user's side would prevent that.
>>335182370I already said phones ringing give me anxiety, that's no solution anyway
It's not a political belief, I could care less who does it. Anyone with any moral fiber would not even consider it, particularly the kind of people that would need an obongo phone to begin with, worthless people like me who contribute nothing to society. The difference between mooching off of your parents and mooching off of the government is that your parents are willing and can cut you off at any time if they are not, when you do the same with the government you are essentially taking from millions of people who are unwilling but forced to give to you, which is literally theft.
>>335182628
Only now the hackers will get everyone's phone number. How does it sound for you, tough lad?
>>335182384
>Don't you want more?
Yeah I want more! I can't wait to have "more" come out of my life when I get a job at the local Wal-Mart!Fuck off normie
Fucking dumb niggers, when will you realize 2 step is a good thing. It isn't a fucking scam.
Someone has tried to hack my steam account twice in the last 5 months and both times 2 step stopped them from being able to steal my account.
I use 2 step on every single account I have for everything. Stop being retarded and use it.
>>335182721
Are cell phone numbers stored in the yellow pages?
>>335182726
That sounds exactly like some retarded political belief
>>335182797
>I'm a retard so everybody else is a retard and has to use anti-retard measures
>>335182413
He's been doing it for his entire presidency, he announced it many years ago and never stopped giving them out.
>>335182405
I do still live in this country, I have to put up with the deteriorating economy the same as everyone else even if I don't contribute to it.
>>335182721
You can ask to be unlisted
>>335182797
How did they try to take your account?
>>335182816
Whatever makes you feel better about your support of widescale theft and moral corruption, then.
>>335182815
no of course not. what i'm trying to say is that a phone number has never been a private thing.
literally every call centre can look your mobile phone number up by address or name. that means everyone.
>>335182959
even that shit doesnt work unless you do it from the get-go. You're in more than one database, and your shit will only not go in newer databases.
>>335177762
Don't you have a fucking job?
>>335175913
Who cares third-worlder
>>335182862
The only retard is you thinking that 2 step is some sort of scam or a bad thing.
It is there to help you, it is literally impossible for anyone to get hack your account with 2 step. Why wouldn't you use it?
>>335183083
Do you give your address to Sony?
>>335182981
>taxation is theft
I'm sure you don't drink water from the faucet, use public schools or have County waste disposal either right?
>>335175913
>What about us who don't have smartphones or phones at all?
How the hell do you not have a phone?
