Saving your password / Signing in automatically
To use this feature, you must maintain your system to always have the latest version of the system software installed.
If you save your password, the password will be pre-populated in the sign-in screen. If you also set to sign in automatically, the PS3™ system will automatically sign in to PLAYSTATION®Network when you turn on the system.
Notices
- Saving your password may allow others to use PLAYSTATION®Network services or view other information for your account.
- Before giving your PS3™ system to a third party for any reason including return (where permitted) or authorised service, be sure to clear the PLAYSTATION®Network [Save Password] option for all Users. This will help prevent unauthorised access to or use of your credit card or other personal details.
