My PSN Account Locked Asked To Change My Password

I haven’t used my Playstation in over a month, tonight I turned it on and found out my PSN account was locked and asked me to change my password to retrieve it, which I did... should I worry?

Sony security suck, if you haven't activate your 2FA, activate it.

It happens occasionally if you haven't changed your password in a long time.

I think Playstation is using a personal device key now. However, I don't know if it's ps3 and vita only (that's what 4.89 and 3.74 added support for), but I don't know if ps4 and 5 use them, because my ps5 didn't ask me about it when I tested by signing out.

I believe it’s PS3 and Vita only, at least I can confirm my Vita required it last year but only first time after firmware 3.74 but not on PS4 and on their website they mentioned it’s for PS3 and Vita only.
