Hi Gaf, sorry to re-post this. After having asked in two different threads who went down fast, and received no answers, I thought to make a separate one, and see if you guys can help me figure it out.
Something kinda odd is happening on my PS3 (and PSP). Basically, all of a sudden, I can't sign in either my US and Japanese secondary accounts (my main account is European, and that works fine, with the 2-step verification enabled), even though all the games I purchased in the past years - with US/JP PSN cards - remain perfectly playable on both my PS3 and PSP (which I kept my US account signed in, due to the fact all my Minis come from the US PS Store) consoles. I just can't seem able to sign in. The consoles - and my PC as well - keep saying my ID or password isn't correct (but they are), when I type them in.
I don't believe said accounts got hacked because I've never tied any credit card or PayPal account to them, I've only used PSN cards, and surely I haven't got any notification regarding any kind of problem with the JP account, on the email that is connected to it. Unfortunately, I can't access the email I used for the US account anymore. It's very very old and I lost the password as well.
Any idea of what's going on? Of course, calling the Customer Service is not an option, as I'm neither an American or Japanese resident.
I believe a similar thing happened with my EU account too, but that was only to upgrade my security settings with the 2-steps verification, and I could actually log in. I wonder if all that means I should activate it on my secondary accounts too?
Any help would be super appreciated, thanks in advance!
Edit - I must say. I didn't actively use (in order to make a purchase, for instance, or download a demo) those accounts for ages, especially the Japanese one. I point this out because I have no idea whether or not an inactive account can actually expire, after some time.
