Why and How to Lock Your PS5 for Better Security
PS5s are usually left accessible in the living room, but it’s important to prioritize security. By password-protecting your PS5, you can prevent unauthorized access and protect your save files from tampering or accidental deletion. Additionally, locking your PS5 can help prevent random users from spending money from your PS wallet or accessing inappropriate content on your account, especially if you have children at home.
Setting up a passcode is easy and worth the slight inconvenience of logging in. There are two passcodes available on your PS5: a login passcode and a console restriction code. The login passcode prevents users from logging in to your user account, while the console restriction code protects the console’s settings, such as creating new user accounts and restricting content.
