Change your password from your account settings
Open Roblox and sign in to your account. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select Settings from the menu. On the left side, click Security. You will see a section labeled Password with a button that says Change Password.
Click that button. Roblox will ask you to enter your current password first — this confirms you are the account owner. Then type your new password twice to make sure you did not make a typo. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long. Click Save when you are done.
Your password changes when ready. If you are signed in on other devices, you will be signed out automatically within a few minutes. You will need to sign back in with your new password on each device.

Why you should change your password regularly
Changing your password every few months reduces the window of time that a stolen or guessed password can be used against your account. If someone else knows your password — whether because you used it on another website that was breached, or because you shared it with a friend — they can access your account, spend your Robux, change your settings, or lock you out by changing the password themselves.
You should change your password right away if you think someone else might know it, if you used the same password on another website that was hacked, or if you shared it with someone you no longer trust. Roblox will not ask you to change your password by email — if you get an email claiming Roblox requires a password change, that is a phishing attempt and you should not click the link.
Make your new password hard to guess
A strong password is one that someone else cannot figure out by trying common words or variations of your username. Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! or #). Avoid using your username, your real name, your birthday, or words that appear in the dictionary. Do not use the same password on Roblox that you use anywhere else.
A password like "BlueSky2024!" is easier to guess than it looks, because it follows a predictable pattern. A password like "Tr0pic@lMango9x" is harder to guess because it mixes character types and does not spell a real word. You do not need to memorize it — write it down in a notebook you keep in a safe place, or use a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password that stores passwords encrypted on your device.
What to do if you cannot access your account to change the password
If you cannot sign in because you forgot your password, 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. Roblox will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Click that link, enter a new password, and you will be able to sign back in.
Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the email within a few minutes. The link in the reset email usually works for 24 hours. If the link has expired, go back to the login page and request a new one.
Protect your account beyond the password
A strong password is your first line of defense, but it is not the only one. Turn on two-step verification in your Security settings. This means that even if someone learns your password, they cannot sign in without a code from your phone or email. Go to Settings > Security and look for Two-Step Verification. You can choose to receive codes by email or through an authenticator app like Google Authenticator.
You should also check which email address is linked to your account and make sure that email is find. If someone gains access to your email, they can reset your Roblox password without knowing the old one. Go to Settings > Account and verify that the email shown is one only you can access.
Signs that your password may have been compromised
If you notice that you were signed out unexpectedly, or if your Robux balance dropped without you spending it, or if your avatar looks different than you remember, someone else may have accessed your account. Change your password when ready using the steps above. Then go to your account settings and review what email address and phone number are listed — if they are not yours, change them back.
If you cannot sign in at all, or if the email address has been changed and you cannot change it back, contact Roblox Support through their website. You will need to provide proof that you own the account, such as the email address you originally used to create it or a receipt if you have ever spent money on Robux.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Roblox password on mobile?
Yes. Open the Roblox app, tap the three lines in the bottom right, tap your username, then tap Settings. Scroll down to Security and tap Change Password. The steps are the same as on a computer.
What happens if I forget my new password right after changing it?
Use the Forgot Password link on the login page. Roblox will send you a reset link to your email. You do not need to know your old password to reset it.
Do I need to change my password if I only play Roblox and never shared it?
Changing your password every few months is still a good idea, because data breaches happen at websites you may not use anymore. If you used the same password on another site that was hacked, that password is no longer safe.
Will changing my password delete my game progress or items?
No. Changing your password does not affect your games, items, or Robux. It only changes how you sign in.
Can Roblox staff help me change my password if I am locked out?
Yes, but only if you can prove you own the account. Contact Roblox Support through their website and provide the email address you used to create the account or other proof of ownership.
