How to add a password to your PS5

One thing you may not know about the PS5 console is the ability to set up a password to protect your account.

This is ideal if you have a squabbling sibling or a nosy friend that you want to keep out of your save files. It’s also a good way to make sure your game progress is well protected, so nobody accidentally overwrites or deletes it. Imagine the pain of losing 100 hours of progress for Elden Ring.

Thankfully, setting up a PS5 password is really simple and can be achieved in just a few simple steps. Read on to find out how you can set up a password on your PS5 account.
