Absolutely not. I’ve reset my PS4 a few times, and my PSN account was always there waiting for me when I logged back in.

Initializing your PS4 will not delete your PSN account. You’ll just need to log back in after the reset.

Straight up: No, it doesn't. Your PSN account is linked to the PlayStation Network, not the individual console.
