Saving your password / Signing in automatically

To use this feature, you may be required to update the system software.


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 PSNSM when you turn on the system.

Notices

  • Saving your password may allow others to use PSNSM services or view other information for your account.
  • Before giving your PS3™ system to an authorised service, be sure to clear the [Save Password] option on the sign-in screen for PSNSM for all users. This will help prevent unauthorised access to or use of your credit card or other personal details.
  • Before giving your PS3™ system to a third party for any reason including return (where permitted), be sure to delete all the data and restore the default settings on the PS3™ system. This will help prevent unauthorised access to or use of your credit card or other personal details.
