Topic: How to Remote Delete PSN ID from Inaccessible PS4?

Posts 1 to 18 of 18

Here's my situation. My work recently added a PS4 and TV for it to our break room. I signed in with my PSN ID, but forgot to delete my account before leaving work yesterday, and I'm not scheduled to work again until Wednesday.

People at work have been accessing my account, causing me to be kicked out on my end at home. How can I delete my PSN account from the work PS4 without being there in person?

Please don't suggest that I should just go down there and remove the account myself, it's not an option due to transportation issues and distance. Commute would be 30 minutes to work and another 30 back home, if I could even find a way to get there.

@ToddlerNaruto you should be able do it from the official PlayStation website, just sign in, then go to my PlayStation then account settings then devices

at the very least this will let you deactivate your account on the other PS4 until you can delete it off the one from your work place

EDIT: also i hope this reminds you to NEVER sign into your account on a communal PS4 again

@ToddlerNaruto If you trust anyone there you can call your work and have them do it. As a safety precaution I would change your password now and in the future don't do that again cause anything they do on that account can come back on you even if you didn't do it.

I already tried deactivating all devices, I'm still getting kicked out of my account which means they can still access my PSN ID on the work PS4.

Also there are only two PS4s, mine and the work PS4.

Calling isn't an option, we work in a huge warehouse that forces all employees to keep their phones in lockers near the entrance, or in their cars.

At least I did remember to remove all payment information. Also changing the password won't help, they'd still be able to login because the work PS4 bypasses passwords for existing IDs that have been added.

@ToddlerNaruto I meant change the password after you deactivate your account from the work PS4. Did you have by chance set up your work PS4 as the master PS4 for your account?

Cause if that's the case then you might have to physically deactivate which means either take that bus ride to your work or wait till Wednesday.

The only other thing I can think of is contact Sony and say someone stole your account.

Bus ride would take me 2 hours and alot of walking.

Also no, I didn't make the work PS4 my primary PS4.

They didn't steal my account? I've already said before, I just forgot to remove my account from the choice of logins.

They're most likely choosing my profile over the others because I have PS Plus and NetFlix installed.

@ToddlerNaruto You're not listening, of course they didn't steal it, but Sony doesn't know that, if you tell them that then they can disable your account on that PS4.

Or rather he was not reading properly. 'Your not listening' lol 😆

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@JohnnyShoulder No I read it properly, I was telling him that if he didn't want to go down to his work for whatever reason and didn't want to wait till Wednesday he could report it to Sony that his account was stolen and they will deactivate his account on the other PS4 hopefully.

A few years ago my son had his XBLA stolen so we contacted MS. They deactivated it from the Xbox 360 it was linked to that stole it and after he changed his password everything was fine.
