You cannot see your current password, but you can reset it in minutes
Roblox does not show you your password anywhere — not in settings, not in email, nowhere. That is by design: if Roblox employees cannot see it, neither can hackers who break into Roblox servers. What you can do instead is reset your password to something new, and you can do that from the login page without needing to remember the old one.
The reset process takes about five minutes and sends a link to the email address attached to your account. You will need access to that email to complete the reset. If you no longer have access to that email address, the process is longer but still possible.
Key Takeaways
- Roblox passwords cannot be viewed or recovered — only reset to a new one through the email address on your account.
- The fastest reset path is the "Forgot Password" link on the Roblox login page, which emails you a reset link valid for one hour.
- If you cannot access the email on your account, you will need to verify your identity through a phone number or recovery email that you set up beforehand.
- Never share your password with anyone, and never enter it on a website other than roblox.com or the official Roblox mobile app.
- If your account was hacked, change your password when ready and check your email address and phone number in account settings to make sure they are still yours.
Reset your password using the email on your account
Go to the Roblox login page at roblox.com. Below the password field, click the blue "Forgot Password?" link. Enter your username or the email address attached to your account, then click the button to continue.
Roblox will send an email to the address on file. Open that email and click the reset link. The link works for one hour. You will be taken to a page where you can type a new password. Make it at least eight characters long, and do not reuse a password you have used before on Roblox or anywhere else.
After you set the new password, you can log in right away. If you do not see the reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder — sometimes email filters catch it by mistake.
What to do if you cannot access your account email
If the email address on your Roblox account no longer works — you closed it, lost access to it, or it was changed by someone else — you will need to prove you own the account another way. Roblox can verify your identity using a phone number or a backup email address that you set up in your account settings before the problem happened.
Go to the login page and click "Forgot Password?" Enter your username. If Roblox detects that the account email is unreachable, it will offer you other ways to verify. You may be asked to enter a phone number associated with the account or to answer security questions. Follow the prompts to reset your password.
If you did not set up a phone number or backup email beforehand, contact Roblox Support through their help center at en.help.roblox.com. You will need to provide information that proves you created the account — such as the email you originally used, the date you created it, or payment information if you bought Robux. The support team will take several days to respond.
Protect your new password after you reset it
Once you have set a new password, write it down in a password manager — a tool like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your browser that stores passwords encrypted. Do not write it on paper or text it to yourself. Do not reuse the same password on other websites or games.
Turn on two-factor authentication in your Roblox account settings if you have not already. This adds a second step when you log in: after you enter your password, Roblox sends a code to your phone or email, and you have to enter that code too. Even if someone steals your password, they cannot get into your account without that code.
Signs your account may have been hacked
If you are resetting your password because you think someone else got into your account, check your account settings right away. Look at the email address and phone number listed there. If either one is wrong, change it back when ready — a hacker may have changed them to lock you out.
Check your purchase history and Robux balance. If you see purchases you did not make or your Robux is gone, take a screenshot and report it to Roblox Support. Also check whether you are still following the same friends and groups — a hacker sometimes changes these to hide their activity.
If your account was compromised, assume the password was stolen. Do not reuse any part of the old password in your new one. If you used the same password on other games or websites, change those too.
Why Roblox cannot show you your password
When you create a password, Roblox scrambles it using a mathematical process called hashing. The scrambled version is what gets stored in Roblox's database. When you log in, Roblox scrambles what you type and compares it to the stored version. If they match, you are in.
The original password is never stored anywhere. This means that even if a hacker breaks into Roblox's servers, they get the scrambled versions, not the real passwords. It also means Roblox itself cannot show you your password — the company has no way to unscramble it. The only way to get a new password is to reset it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Roblox send me my old password?
No. Roblox does not store passwords in a form that can be read or sent back to you. The company can only reset your password to a new one. If you need to get back into your account, use the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page.
What if I forgot my username too?
Go to roblox.com and click "Forgot Password?" You can enter either your username or your email address. If you enter your email, Roblox will tell you which username is attached to it, then send you a password reset link.
Is it safe to reset my password on my phone?
Yes, as long as you are on the official Roblox website or app. Make sure the web address says roblox.com and not something similar. Never enter your password on a link sent to you in a chat message or email, even if it looks like it came from Roblox — that is a common scam.
How long does the password reset link stay valid?
The link in the reset email works for one hour. If you do not click it within that time, you will need to request a new reset link. Go back to the login page and click "Forgot Password?" again.
Can I change my password without resetting it?
Yes. If you can log into your account, go to Settings, then Account, then Change Password. You will be asked to enter your current password, then type the new one twice. You do not need to use the "Forgot Password?" link if you remember your current password.
