Being "locked out" of an account refers to the situation where a user is unable to access their account, typically due to security measures or authentication issues. If you are locked out of your PlayStation because of 2-step authentication, here are the steps you can take to get back in:
• Back up your codes:
Your authenticator app might not work or you might not be able to get the 2-step verification code by text. You can use backup codes instead.
When you set up two-step verification, make sure you saved your backup codes. Use those instead of the normal verification code to sign in.
You can only use each backup code once, so be smart about how you use them.
• Change Your Password:
If you can't get to your two-step verification method, try changing your password again.
Get into the email address that's linked to your PlayStation account.
If you change your password, any 2-step verification codes that are already set up will no longer work. This will let you set up a new method.
• Talk to PlayStation Support:
Get in touch with PlayStation Support if the steps above don't help or if you have any other problems.
PlayStation Support can help you make sure you are who you say you are and figure out what's wrong.
To get in touch with them, visit their website or call their support line.
It's important to remember to keep your backup codes in a safe place. If you need personalized help, the best thing to do is contact PlayStation Support.
