Change your Roblox password from your account settings

Log into your Roblox account, go to the settings menu (the gear icon in the top right), select the Account tab, and click Change Password. You will need to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it. The change takes effect when ready — you do not need to log out and back in.

If you cannot remember your current password, you cannot use this method. Instead, go to the Roblox login page, click Forgot Password or Username, enter your email address or username, and follow the reset link Roblox sends to your email. That process lets you set a new password without knowing the old one.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your password from Account Settings if you remember your current password, and the change takes effect right away.
  • If you forget your password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page and check the email address connected to your account.
  • A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — avoid using your username or real name.
  • After you change your password, you will be logged out on all other devices and will need to log back in with your new password.

What makes a password strong enough to protect your account

Roblox does not publish a specific password requirement, but a strong password is at least 8 characters long and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid passwords based on your username, real name, birth date, or common words — these are the first things someone trying to break in will try.

A password like BlueMountain2024 is easier to remember but weaker than Blu3M@untain!2024. The second one takes only a few seconds longer to type but is much harder to guess. Password managers like Bitwarden or 1Password can generate and store strong passwords for you, so you do not have to remember them.

Why you should change your password if you think someone else knows it

If you shared your password with a friend, used the same password on another website that was hacked, or suspect someone else has logged into your account, change it right away. Roblox shows you a list of devices currently logged into your account in the Account Settings under Sessions or Active Sessions — if you see a device you do not recognize, that is a sign someone else has access.

Changing your password logs out all other devices automatically. The person who had your old password will no longer be able to log in. If you see suspicious activity on your account (purchases you did not make, messages you did not send, or Robux missing), report it to Roblox Support through the Help page on the Roblox website.

How to log back in after you change your password

After you change your password, Roblox logs you out of the website and any games you were playing. The next time you open Roblox or a Roblox game, you will see the login screen. Enter your username or email address and your new password.

If you are logged in on a phone, tablet, or computer, you will be logged out there too. You will need to enter your new password on each device. This is intentional — it makes sure that if someone else had your old password, they cannot stay logged in.

What to do if you cannot access the email connected to your account

If you forgot your password and cannot access your email, you cannot reset it yourself through the standard Roblox process. Contact Roblox Support through the Help page on the Roblox website and explain that you cannot access your email. They will ask you to verify your identity — usually by answering security questions or providing details about your account history.

This process can take several days. To speed it up, have ready any information you remember: the email address you signed up with, the date you created the account, any payment methods you used, or the username of a friend who plays with you. The more details you can provide, the faster Roblox Support can confirm you own the account.

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security

Two-factor authentication (often called 2FA) requires you to enter a code from your phone every time you log in from a new device. This means that even if someone knows your password, they cannot log in without also having access to your phone. Roblox offers two-factor authentication through an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

To turn it on, go to Account Settings, select the Security tab, and follow the steps to link an authenticator app. Write down the backup codes Roblox gives you and store them somewhere safe — if you lose access to your phone, you will need these codes to log back in. Two-factor authentication is optional, but it is the single strongest thing you can do to protect an account that contains Robux or items you care about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password on the Roblox mobile app?

Yes. Open the app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), go to Settings, select Account, and tap Change Password. The process is the same as on the website.

What happens to my games and items if I change my password?

Nothing. Your games, items, and Robux stay on your account. Changing your password only changes how you log in — it does not affect anything you own or have built.

How often should I change my password?

If your password is strong and unique to Roblox, you do not need to change it regularly. Change it if you think someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in over a year.

Will Roblox ever ask me to change my password by email?

Roblox may send you a security alert if it detects unusual login activity, but it will not ask you to click a link in an email to change your password. If you receive an email claiming to be from Roblox asking you to reset your password by clicking a link, do not click it — that is a phishing scam. Instead, go directly to roblox.com and change your password there.
