It makes it harder for someone to steal your information and buy stuff on your account. Not having it is actually a pretty big issue. |
They can't buy stuff anyway since it asks you for the password when you check out. And what information would they steal that's going to be useful?

Enhanced security against what exactly? You mean if someone gets your password?

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.
Good thing by Sony.

No it doesn't. If you have your card tied to your PSN account it doesn't ask you for anything when you buy something.
If you're going be spending any significant amount of money on digital content, two step verification is practically a must.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

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?

No, you can't if you turned on the "Require Password on checkout" feature, which, obviously, everyone has. So, again, you need the account password to be able to buy something.
2-step is just there to make you feel safer when in reality it as effective as what's already there.
