HAH "homail"

I figured out why my PSN account has been non-functional. So, on the PS3 I entered an email for my account, 4(ish) years ago. Either from the beginning, or when the PSN had that credit card issue and it was down for a month. I wasn't too upset because I don't go online much and I got some free games out of it (yay Infamous). Anyhow, my brother and I purchased a PS4 and I went to activate my PSN on there and it told me I had an invalid email. I was confused because it worked fine on the PS3 all this time, and it wouldn't accept my birthday to change the password...so I got mad about it and put off fixing it until later.

Yesterday I was on the PS3 and decided to look into it as my username and password are saved on there. I tried accessing the account options, which requires a password...so I did password recovery and sent it to my email. I didn't receive one, and after a few minutes I got fed up, and watched a movie. Afterwards, I tried it again and immediately I noticed a problem, which incidentally was also the reason I never got an email. I was using "homail" not "hotmail" for god knows how long. This is why the PS4 said I had an invalid email, only the PS3 ACCEPTED it. 

So I had no choice but to remember what password I used. I remember when I changed it I sat there saying to myself "hell I'm never going to remember this" and then promptly forgot to write it down. Hasn't been an issue because the PS3 had my password saved. So I tried a few combinations because I knew it was some combination of the same word phrase. I FINALLY got it, which actually was a lot more simple than I expected, and got in.

Point is, I have fixed my PSN, and if anyone would like to add that account, you may send a private message to me on YouTube or Google+ (or if I have you on Steam or something similar, just ask me there). 


ugh.
