Just a word of warning, Sony, when resetting your PSN password, doesn't have a character limit on the password, but then when you log in, they set a 32 character limit, except that their forms won't work, but a 30 character password does work.

We are forced to activate 2FA for our office 365 accounts at work. I complained that all methods that M$ offers requiered a personal device or telephone number of mine. As a result I got a SIP. Now the second factor (2FA) is on the same device but hey compliance...

I asked a year ago and today again if we could invest in Nitrokeys or anything compareable...
