Create your Roblox password during sign-up or change it anytime in settings
When you first sign up for Roblox, you choose a password as part of creating your account. If you already have an account and want to change your password, you can do that in your account settings without losing anything — your games, friends, and items stay with you. The steps are straightforward, but the password itself matters more than most people think. A weak password is the single easiest way for someone else to take over your account.
Your password is the lock on your account. Roblox cannot recover a stolen account for you if someone else knew your password and changed it themselves. That is why the password you choose — or change to — should be something only you know, something long enough to be hard to guess, and something you do not use anywhere else.
Key Takeaways
- Create a password during sign-up by entering it in the password field, or change an existing password by going to Settings, then Account, then Change Password.
- A strong Roblox password is at least 12 characters long and includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols like ! or @.
- Never use the same password on Roblox that you use on email, social media, or other accounts, because if one site is hacked, attackers will try that password everywhere.
- Do not share your password with friends, even people you trust in games, because account theft often comes from people you know.
- If you forget your password, you can reset it using the email address attached to your account, but only if you still have access to that email.
What makes a password strong enough to protect your account
Roblox requires a minimum of 8 characters, but that is the bare minimum — think of it as the lowest bar, not the target. A password that is only 8 characters long can be cracked in hours by automated tools. A password that is 12 characters or longer, mixed with different types of characters, is exponentially harder to break.
A strong password for Roblox should have all four of these: at least one uppercase letter (A–Z), at least one lowercase letter (a–z), at least one number (0–9), and at least one symbol (!@#$%^&*). An example of a strong password is BlueMoon$2847! or Sunset#Panda99. An example of a weak password is roblox123 or password — these are guessed first by anyone trying to break in.
Avoid passwords that contain your username, your real name, your birth year, or words from the dictionary. Attackers use lists of common words and common patterns. They also try variations like replacing "a" with "@" or "e" with "3". If you use a real word at all, combine it with numbers and symbols in a way that does not follow a pattern someone could guess.
How to create a password when you sign up for Roblox
When you go to the Roblox website or app and click Sign Up, you will see fields for username, email, and password. Type your chosen password into the password field. Roblox will show you a strength meter — a bar that fills as your password gets stronger. Keep typing until the bar shows green or "Strong".
After you enter your password, you will also enter your birth date and agree to the terms. Then click the Sign Up button. Roblox will send a confirmation email to the address you provided. Open that email and click the link to confirm your account. Your password is now active, and you can log in.
How to change your password if you already have an account
If you want to change your password after your account is created — whether because you think someone might know it, or because you want a stronger one — go to the Roblox website and log in. Click the gear icon in the top right corner, then select Settings.
In Settings, click the Account tab on the left side. You will see a section called "Password" with a button that says "Change Password". Click that button. Roblox will ask you to enter your current password first, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. After you click Change, your new password takes effect when ready. You will be logged out, and the next time you log in, use your new password.
Why you should never reuse passwords across different websites
Many people use the same password on Roblox, email, social media, and gaming sites. This is the fastest way to lose everything. If any one of those sites is hacked — and many are — attackers get your password and try it on every other site they can think of. They start with email, because email is the master key: if they get into your email, they can reset your password on Roblox, your bank, and anything else tied to that email address.
Use a different password on Roblox than you use anywhere else. If you have trouble remembering multiple passwords, consider using a password manager — a tool like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass that stores passwords in an encrypted vault. You only have to remember one master password to unlock the vault. Password managers also generate strong random passwords for you, so you do not have to invent them yourself.
What to do if you forget your Roblox password
If you forget your password and cannot log in, go to the Roblox login page and click "Forgot Password?" Enter the email address connected to your account. Roblox will send a password reset link to that email. Open the email, click the link, and you will be taken to a page where you can create a new password.
This only works if you still have access to the email address you used to sign up. If you no longer have access to that email — because you closed it, or because someone else changed it — you will need to contact Roblox Support. Go to the Roblox Help Center and look for the contact form. Explain that you cannot access your email, and provide as much information as you can about your account (username, when you created it, what you remember about your account activity). Support can sometimes verify your identity and help you regain access, but it takes time.
How to keep your password safe after you create it
Creating a strong password is only half the work. Keeping it secret is the other half. Never tell your password to anyone — not friends in games, not people who say they work for Roblox, not even people you trust. Roblox staff will never ask for your password. If someone messages you claiming to be from Roblox and asking for your password, that is a scam.
Do not type your password into any website except the official Roblox site (roblox.com) or the official Roblox app. Scammers create fake Roblox login pages that look real but steal your password when you enter it. If you are logging in on a computer, check that the web address starts with "https://" (the "s" means it is encrypted) and that it says "roblox.com" in the address bar, not something like "roblox-login.com" or "robloxx.com".
If you think someone else knows your password or has used your account without permission, change your password when ready using the steps above. Then check your account settings to see if your email address was changed. If it was, change it back. If you cannot change it back, contact Roblox Support right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use special characters like ! or @ in my Roblox password?
Yes. Roblox allows special characters, and using them makes your password stronger. Symbols like !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, and * are all accepted. A password with mixed letters, numbers, and symbols is much harder to crack than one with only letters and numbers.
What if I change my password but still cannot log in?
Wait a few minutes — sometimes the change takes a moment to sync across Roblox servers. If you still cannot log in after 10 minutes, try resetting your password again using the "Forgot Password?" link. If that does not work, contact Roblox Support through the Help Center and describe what happened.
Is it safe to let my parent or guardian know my password?
If you are a child, it is reasonable for a parent to know your password for safety reasons. But if you are a teenager or adult, keep your password private. If a parent needs to check on your account, Roblox has parental controls that let them monitor activity without needing your password.
Do I have to change my password regularly?
You do not have to change it on a schedule, but you should change it if you think someone might know it, if you used it on a website that was hacked, or if you have not changed it in several years. Changing it once a year is reasonable if you want to be cautious.
What if my password is too short and Roblox will not let me use it?
Roblox requires at least 8 characters. Add more letters, numbers, or symbols until you reach 8 characters, then try again. Aim for 12 or more to be safe.
