Update on PSN Password Reset Process

We temporarily took down the PSN and Qriocity password reset page. Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved. In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed.

Consumers who haven’t reset their passwords for PSN are still encouraged to do so directly on their PS3. Otherwise, they can continue to do so via the website as soon as we bring that site back up.

  • I really hope ps store Is up by the weekend !! Otherwise Ima throw my ps3 out my window into ur window lol is it cuz ps3 isn’t safe anymore?? I’m assuming it’s not safe to put my personal information then since it could be stolen!!!

  • You guys are addicted to PSN, go get some fresh air…

  • Im not. It doesnt bother me at all that PSN and PS Store is down. I havent played much PS3 that much in the last 2 months.

  • I didnt even know PSN was down until a week after it was down lol.

  • Can you give us an ETA for when the store might be up? My online trial for MK just expired and I can’t enter the code (which means I can’t online) till the store is up…

  • when will the site be up 2 change my password in 23 days also lol. this mourning they said shortly here it is 11 at night still nothing thats sony for u there shortly could be with in a week

  • WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO OPEN PS STORE?… DONT THEY JUST GOTTA UPDATE IT WITH ALL THE NEW CONTENT?? THEY SHOULDNT HAVE PROMISED SO MUCH BEFORE THEY GOT IT BACK ONLINE THEN ADDED THE WELCOME BACK PACK AFTER IT WAS UPDATED

  • There updating the psn again stores coming up soon

  • Me neither. I can wait out all this time playing single player in Portal 2 and inFAMOUS.

  • thnx for letting us know sony

  • Can somebody give me a straight answer: Is PSN online? Or are we all whining about the Store?
    Sorry about being a noob, I’m grounded, wouldn’t know.

  • PSN is online, most are asking about the store, some are having issues with changing passwords, because everyone is trying to change them all at the same time, then the exploit was found and that is making it take even longer to get passwords reset.

  • OK, I’m confused. Did they take the network down again because of this? I just tried to login on PS.com and I’m getting the “Down for maintenance” screen… -_-

  • no it just seems to be the forum and blog logins. ive logged in and out of PSN multiple times today. mostly due to my horrid ISP.

  • @358 Alright, thats for giving me an answer, I could really care less about the store right now.

  • logged in and out of PSN on my PS3 that is

  • why every post have an idiot to say “first”?

  • Ah, ok. I haven’t been on my PS3 today, but was trying to login to playstation.com to register a new PSP I just bought today, but it’s not letting me in.

  • I know right? I mean even in the rules it says:

  • @364, I know, I tried to log in to get a Portable ID

  • Theres a lot of ungrateful people here! Just be glad that we can get online again and be patient.

  • I think people just do the “first” thing because they are really, REALLY bored. XD But, yeah, it’s pointless and not constructive for a blog post at all.

  • 369th yes !!!!

  • oO_WET-EM-UP_Oo

    MW3!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @384, Who wants to read 20 paragraphs of ToS

  • SONY will most liking not tell us when the store is going back up, due to the two free downloadable games that there are putting in the store. To many people would try to download them and lock there severs up. I have heard around that some people are buying a ps3 because of the two games, but you had to have a PSN account by Apr 20 to get this downloads for free.

  • Already changed yay online ƤgƤĆÆƱ

  • @388, I actually already own all of the games they stated, I don’t really care about the store, everybody should just be happy we at least have online gaming while were waiting. This just shows that a lot of you are addicted to PSN, can’t stand 1 day away from it.
