One-time Passwords are an extra layer of security to help prevent unauthorized access into your PSO2 account. Players who wish to register for this service must use the Google Authenticator app.
Google Authenticator Method
Google Authenticator is the newest method in protecting your account with a One-Time Password. All the perks available to OTP users also apply to those who sign up through Google Authenticator.
Before we begin, there are several things you'll need to know:
- Failing to input the correct One-time Password several times will result in your PSO2 account getting locked.
- Having a locked account through the Google Authenticator method requires you to fill out a form to SEGA.
- This form is available by navigating to the SEGA Support page.
Due to the above situation, it is possible to be permanently locked out of the account if SEGA refuses to offer assistance to players outside of Japan. We will append this guide with more information after players report their experiences with the support form.
