The last thing you want to see when sitting down to play the best PS5 games is that your account has been compromised. Sadly, this is a problem anyone can fall victim to whether you play multiplayer games or not. Getting hacked can be a huge problem, which is why we always recommend setting up some security measures. One of the latest options PlayStation has offered is called the passkey. This can make it easier and safer to use your PS5 while playing anything from the best free games or any upcoming game. Setting it up only takes a few seconds, so don't wait until it's too late.
Once your account is secure, we can help you learn how to game share on PS5 as well.
