Change Your Password on the Roblox Website

To change your Roblox password, log into your account on the Roblox website, go to your account settings, and update your password there. The whole process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use a computer or phone browser.

Start by opening roblox.com in your web browser and signing in with your current username and password. Once you are logged in, look for the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the page, or click on your avatar icon if you see it instead. From that menu, select Settings.

In Settings, find the Security tab on the left side of the page. Under Security, you will see a section labeled Password. Click the button next to it that says Change Password or Reset Password, depending on which version of the Roblox website you are using.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your Roblox password through the Settings menu on roblox.com, not through the Roblox app on your phone or game console.
  • Roblox will ask you to enter your current password before letting you create a new one, so you need to remember what it is now.
  • Your new password must be at least eight characters long and cannot be the same as any of your last five passwords.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page instead of trying to change it from Settings.

What Roblox Requires in a New Password

Roblox has specific rules for what counts as a valid password. Your new password must be at least eight characters long. It can include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters like exclamation marks or underscores, but Roblox does not require you to use all of those types.

Roblox also will not let you reuse a password you have used before. If you try to set a password that matches any of your last five passwords, the system will reject it and ask you to choose something different. This rule exists to keep your account more find if someone has learned an old password of yours.

Entering Your Current Password First

When you click Change Password in the Security section, Roblox will ask you to type your current password before you can create a new one. This is a safety feature — it makes sure that someone who has access to your computer or phone cannot change your password without knowing what it is right now.

Type your current password exactly as it is, paying attention to uppercase and lowercase letters. If you enter it wrong, Roblox will show an error message and let you try again. Once you enter your current password correctly, you can move on to creating your new password.

Creating and Confirming Your New Password

After you enter your current password, Roblox will show you two blank fields: one labeled New Password and one labeled Confirm Password. Type your new password in the first field. Make it something you can remember but that would be hard for someone else to guess — avoid using your username, your real name, or common words.

Type the same new password again in the Confirm Password field. Roblox does this to make sure you did not make a typing mistake. If the two passwords do not match exactly, Roblox will not let you save the change. Once both fields match and meet the eight-character minimum, click the button to save your new password.

What to Do If You Forgot Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use the Settings method to change it. Instead, go to the Roblox login page and look for a link that says Forgot Password? or Forgot your password? Click that link.

Roblox will ask you to enter your username or the email address connected to your account. Enter whichever one you know, and Roblox will send a password reset link to your email. Check your email inbox and spam folder for a message from Roblox. Click the link in that email, and you will be able to create a new password without needing to know the old one.

Changing Your Password on Mobile or Console

The Roblox app on your phone and the Roblox app on game consoles do not have a password change feature built in. If you want to change your password, you must use a web browser on a computer or phone and go to roblox.com. Log in there and follow the steps in the Security settings as described above.

After you change your password on the website, you may need to log out of the Roblox app on your phone or console and log back in with your new password. Some devices will ask you to do this right away; others will let you keep playing until the next time you restart the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for my new password to work everywhere?

Your new password works when ready on the Roblox website. If you use the Roblox app on your phone or a game console, you may need to log out and log back in for the app to recognize your new password. This usually happens within a few minutes.

Can I change my password if I am logged in on multiple devices?

Yes. Changing your password on the website does not log you out of other devices automatically. You will stay logged in on your phone, console, or other computers until those sessions expire on their own or until you manually log out.

What if I see an error message when I try to save my new password?

The most common errors are: the new password is too short (must be at least eight characters), the two password fields do not match, or you entered your current password wrong. Read the error message Roblox shows you — it will tell you which one it is. Fix that problem and try again.

Do I need to change my password if someone hacked my account?

Yes, change your password when ready. If you cannot log in because the hacker changed it, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. After you regain access, change your password again to something new, and consider enabling two-factor authentication in your Security settings for extra protection.
