WS-116329-2
PSN Sign-In ID or Password Mismatch
WS-116329-2 means the sign-in ID or password does not match a PlayStation Network account, the specific PSN credential-mismatch code. Beyond a simple typo, it often appears when the password was recently changed on another device, or, less happily, if the account has been accessed without permission. Re-enter the details carefully, reset the password from PSN account management if needed, and check your registered email for security alerts. Enabling two-step verification once you are back in is the best way to keep the account secure.
