PSN Is Getting Two-Factor Authentication

Sony is now implementing 2-factor authentication, which will help safeguard user accounts. This is 5 years after the PlayStation Network outage that latest for more than 3 week. This resulted in user data being exposed and cost the company $170 million. When using this form of login, users need to provide a code separate from a password that is generated on demand. This can be delivered via text message or using a special smartphone or desktop application. For example, Blizzard uses this for its games. Sony has not said a specific date for rolling out this 2 factor authentication feature. What do you think of Sony doing this ? I think its better late then never for Sony to implement this. It’s good knowing that Sony is taking security more seriously.
