Change Your Password on the Roblox Website

The fastest way to change your Roblox password is through the account settings page on the Roblox website. Go to www.roblox.com, log in with your current username and password, then click the gear icon in the top right corner and select Settings. On the left side menu, click Security, then find the Password section and click Change Password. You will be asked to enter your current password once, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

Your new password must be at least eight characters long and cannot be the same as any of your previous five passwords. Roblox will not let you use a password that is too straightforward — for example, "12345678" or "password" will be rejected. Once you submit the change, you are logged out when ready and must log back in with your new password the next time you visit the site or open the Roblox app.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your password through the Security section of your account settings on the Roblox website, not through the game itself.
  • Your new password must be at least eight characters long and different from your last five passwords.
  • You will be logged out as soon as you save your new password and must log in again with the new one.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it through your email address.
  • Two-factor authentication is optional but adds a security layer that requires a code from your phone or email when you log in from a new device.

What Happens If You Forget Your Current Password

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot change it through Settings because the system asks you to enter the old one first. Instead, go to the Roblox login page and click Forgot Password? below the password field. Enter your username or the email address linked to your account, and Roblox will send you a password reset link to that email.

Click the link in the email — it expires after a few hours — and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. This new password does not need to be different from your previous five, since you are resetting rather than changing. Once you set it, log in with your username and the new password.

Securing Your Account Beyond the Password

Changing your password is a good start, but Roblox offers additional security features. Two-factor authentication (also called 2FA) adds an extra step when you log in from a device Roblox does not recognize. After you enter your password, the system sends a code to your phone or email, and you must type that code to finish logging in. This means someone who steals your password still cannot access your account without also having your phone or email.

To turn on two-factor authentication, go to Settings, click Security, and look for the Two-Step Verification section. You can choose to receive codes by text message or email. Roblox will ask you to enter a code right away to confirm the setup works. Save your backup codes in a safe place — if you lose access to your phone or email, these codes let you log in while you regain access to your recovery method.

Changing Your Password on Mobile Devices

The Roblox mobile app does not have a settings page for changing your password. If you are using a phone or tablet, open a web browser instead of the app, go to www.roblox.com, and follow the same steps as on a computer: log in, click the gear icon, select Settings, go to Security, and click Change Password.

After you change your password, you may need to log out of the Roblox app and log back in with your new password. Some devices remember your login and will not ask you to enter it again, but it is a good idea to log out and back in to make sure the new password works.

What to Do If You Cannot Access Your Email

If you forgot your password and no longer have access to the email address linked to your account, you cannot use the password reset link. In this case, contact Roblox Support through their help page at www.roblox.com/support. Click Contact Us and describe your situation — that you cannot log in and cannot access your recovery email. Roblox Support can verify your identity through other details (like the email you used to create the account, your username, or purchase history) and help you regain access.

This process takes longer than a password reset — usually several days — so it is worth keeping your recovery email current. You can change the email address linked to your account in Settings under Account Info if you have access to your current password.

Keeping Your New Password Safe

Once you have changed your password, do not share it with anyone, including Roblox staff or your friends. Roblox employees will never ask you for your password. If someone claims to be from Roblox and asks for it, that is a scam. Store your password in a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your web browser so you do not have to remember it or write it down.

If you think someone else knows your password or has accessed your account, change it right away and turn on two-factor authentication. Check your account activity in Settings under Security to see where and when you have logged in recently. If you see logins from places you do not recognize, change your password when ready and consider resetting it again after a few days to make sure the unauthorized person is locked out.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Your new password works when ready on the website and in the app. You are logged out right away, so you must log back in with the new password. If you are logged in on multiple devices, you will stay logged in on those devices until you log out or until Roblox logs you out automatically (usually after a few weeks of inactivity).

Can I change my password without entering my current password?

No, the Settings page requires your current password to change it. If you do not remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page instead, which sends a reset link to your email.

What if I change my password but still cannot log in?

Make sure you are typing the new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so "Password123" is different from "password123". If you are still stuck, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it again. If that does not work, contact Roblox Support through their help page.

Does changing my password log me out of the Roblox app on my phone?

Not when ready, but you will need to log in again the next time you open the app or the next time it asks you to re-enter your credentials. It is a good idea to log out and back in manually to make sure your new password works on all your devices.

Can I use the same password I used before?

No, Roblox prevents you from reusing any of your last five passwords. This is a security feature to make sure old compromised passwords cannot be used again. Choose a password you have never used on Roblox before.
