if you aren't worried about someone getting into your psn and stealing your account than don't use it.  but there are a lot of techy people that think absolutely everything should require 2-step verification and it is for those people sony is making this feature for.

i'll probably use it.  my entire ps4/vita game library is digital so if someone stole my account i'd be out thousands of dollars worth of games.  seems worth protecting.

I know how it works. I still think is useless unless you've given your password out to someone. I mean, seriously, how will someone steal your account?
