A PlayStation code fails when it is mistyped, expired, for another region, or already used. Here is how to fix sign-in codes and store voucher codes.
| Code type | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Sign-in verification code | Sent by SMS or authenticator when you sign in to your account |
| Store voucher or gift card | Printed on a card or sent by a retailer |
| Console sign-in code | Shown on screen to link a console to your account on the web |
When a console shows a code to enter on another device, it expires quickly. Request a new one on the console and enter it right away while signed in to the right account.
Never buy codes from unofficial sellers or give your sign-in code to anyone offering free games. Codes from unknown sellers are often stolen and may be revoked later.
Protect the account with two-step verification and keep backup codes safe. See authenticator apps.
If you recently reset your password or changed your phone, older sign-in codes and saved sessions may stop working. Sign out on every device, sign in again with the new password, and request a fresh code. If the account has two-step verification and you no longer have the phone, use one of the backup codes saved when you turned it on, or contact PlayStation support to prove ownership.
It may be mistyped, used, expired or for another region.
Usually only in the region they were sold for.
It is probably not the newest code, or your phone time is wrong.
