Sony has released the latest firmware update for their Playstation 3. The firmware update numbered 3.61 is the latest update for the Playstation 3, which will allow users to change their password upon installing the firmware. Password changing is mandatory and every user must change their password, according to Sony, this is as an added layer of security.
Users will only be able to change password on their PS3. According to Eric Lempel, VP of Sony Network Entertainment on the Playstation blog:
If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID (email address) associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN. This e-mail will contain a link that will enable you to change your password. In this email, click on the link and follow the instructions to change your password. Once you have changed your password you can sign-in to your account using your new password.
Update: If you don’t get an email immediately, wait a couple of hours. It will take max 24 hours to receive the email. Playstation official update on twitter:
“Due to the high volume of emails, some users are experiencing delays receiving their password reset instructions. Thanks for your patience!”
