What is a secondary account on PS4?

On a PS4, a "secondary account" refers to any user profile on the console that isn't the designated Primary PS4 for a specific game-owning account, meaning they can only play purchased digital games or access PS Plus benefits if the main account is activated as primary and logged in, effectively sharing content. The "secondary slot" concept, often used by third-party sellers, requires you to play only on the provided account (the "S" slot) for access, losing your own trophies and progress.
