In light of the terrible Sony news, just wondering how many people here actually took action already and changed their passwords to anything (emails, facebook, twitter, online bank accounts log ins, etc)?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I will change my PSN login password once PSN gets back online. Other than that i dont see any reason to change anything else, especially since i have multiple e-mail adresses.
When PSN comes back I'll be chaning the password, and changed my email's password just in case. Beyond that, I didn't have any CC info so I should be fine.
I can't remember, did sony require a credit card number to sign up for the network or are credit cards just on there for people who bought PSN content with them? I've only used PSN points cards to buy stuff off of PSN, I never used a credit card on there. I can't remember if I would have had to enter one when I initially signed up.

Same for me as well.You don't need to enter a credit card just to sign up, only if you want to use one to buy stuff on the Playstation Store or if you had Playstation Plus and used a credit card to pay for that.I can't remember, did sony require a credit card number to sign up for the network or are credit cards just on there for people who bought PSN content with them?

I've heard people say that changing your PSN login password/email can make your PSN account unrecognizable by the user account (or something like that) and interfere with your past game saves as well as trophies?
That's why I'm scared to do so ...
I registered a new email account when I signed up to PSN, which both have the same passwords. I tried to access my email (I never check it) and I'm unable to get in :| I haven't forgotton my password as it's the same as I've been logging in PSN all the time. hmmmmmm

No.
I changed my Steam password and made sure my Battle.net password wasn't the same as my PSN one. Those are the only two services I care about people getting access to.
Oh, and my Windows Live account. Need my email.
There was a FAQ posted on the PS Blog tonight. It sounds like when PSN comes back up a password change will be required.I've changed all email related passwords and cancelled the credit card I had on my account. I don't think you can change your PSN passwords, since the systems down...

Not this.
I used the same password in several other places as well (none that are terribly important)... under the impression that no one will ever obtain it :P
So, yea, I had to change a few passwords--and even some email-related sign-in IDs.
I'm going to change my PSN password once everything is up and running. I didn't have any credit or debit card info on there so I should be OK. Thank goodness for PSN cards! I'm only going to use those from now on.
FFS. There are 70 million PSN accounts. Do you think the hackers are trawling through PSN passwords trying to match them with email adresses or Twitter accounts. To be honest, I don't have a clue what my PSN password is, it just auto logs in. The hackers are not interested in personal info, CC info or anything else. It's between them and Sony
