    Plenty of ways to fuck with you, getting the account banned, deleting it etc. Sorry friend but using a throwaway email for any accounts you actually use is a terrible idea.

    You know what would solve this all? If there wasn’t a dumb requirement for a PS account. See why people are annoyed with it now?

      using a throwaway email for any accounts you actually use

      When I say “throwaway,” I don’t mean “I forgot about it, and I no longer have access to it, and I picked a really stupid name and password.”

      I mean: “this is not the same email that I use to do my primary banking and contact my grandmother.”

      I have two-factor authentication set up for everything that supports it. I just looked it up, and PSN supports it. Yes, that doesn’t mean it’s immune to being hacked, but my use of a “throwaway” email address doesn’t do ANYTHING to increase the odds of my account being hacked, for anything.

      If you won’t admit that, I don’t care to discuss this with you, any further.

        That’s an even bigger pain in the ass than creating a throwaway account. At least throwaway would’ve been two second and forget it, now you’re having to create an actual account.

        No thanks.
