Roblox does not show you your password after you create it
Once you set a password on your Roblox account, Roblox stores it in a way that prevents even Roblox staff from reading it back to you. This is a security feature — it means that if someone breaks into Roblox's servers, they cannot steal your actual password. You cannot retrieve the password you originally chose.
If you remember your password, you can log in normally. If you do not remember it, you will need to reset it instead. Roblox offers a straightforward reset process that works whether you signed up with an email address, a username, or a phone number.
Key Takeaways
- Roblox cannot show you your password because it is stored in encrypted form that even Roblox staff cannot read.
- You can reset your password on the Roblox login page by clicking "Forgot Password or Username" and following the email or SMS instructions.
- The reset link or code expires after a set time, so complete the reset soon after requesting it.
- If you no longer have access to the email or phone number on your account, you will need to contact Roblox support with proof of account ownership.
How to reset your password if you forgot it
Go to the Roblox login page at roblox.com/login. Below the password field, click the link that says "Forgot Password or Username?" You will be taken to a recovery page.
Enter either your username or the email address associated with your account. Roblox will send a reset link to that email address. Open your email, find the message from Roblox, and click the reset link inside it. The link will take you to a page where you can create a new password. Type your new password twice to confirm it, then click the button to save the change. You can now log in with your new password.
If you signed up with a phone number instead of email
Some Roblox accounts are created using only a phone number, with no email address on file. If this is your account, click "Forgot Password or Username?" on the login page and enter your username instead of an email address.
Roblox will send a reset code to the phone number on your account via text message. Open the text, copy the code, and paste it into the box on the reset page. Then create your new password and save it. If you no longer have access to that phone number, you will need to contact Roblox support.
What to do if you cannot access your email or phone number
If the email address or phone number on your account no longer works, you cannot complete the password reset on your own. Instead, go to the Roblox support page at roblox.com/support and select "Contact Us." Choose the category "Account Access" and explain that you cannot reset your password because you no longer have access to your recovery email or phone.
Roblox support will ask you to prove that you own the account. They may ask for details like the email address you originally signed up with, the creation date of the account, or a list of games you have played. Answer as accurately as you can. Once support confirms your identity, they can help you regain access to your account.
How to create a strong password you will remember
When you reset your password, choose something that is hard for others to guess but easier for you to remember. Avoid using your username, your real name, or common words like "password" or "123456." A good password mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, "BlueMoon#2024!" is stronger than "bluebird."
If you struggle to remember complex passwords, consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your web browser. These tools store your passwords securely and fill them in automatically when you log in, so you only have to remember one main password.
Keeping your account find after resetting
After you reset your password, take a moment to check your account settings. Go to roblox.com, log in, and click the gear icon in the top right corner to open Settings. Look at the "Account Info" section and verify that your email address and phone number are correct. If you see an email or phone number you do not recognize, remove it when ready.
You can also turn on two-factor authentication (also called 2FA) in the Security section of Settings. This adds an extra layer of protection: when you log in from a new device, Roblox will send a code to your email or phone, and you will have to enter that code before you can access your account. Even if someone learns your password, they cannot log in without that code.
Why Roblox cannot tell you your old password
Roblox uses a process called hashing to store passwords. When you create a password, Roblox runs it through a mathematical function that turns it into a long string of characters. That string is what gets stored in Roblox's database, not your actual password. The function only works one way — you cannot reverse it to get the original password back.
This design protects you. If a hacker breaks into Roblox's servers and steals the database, they get the hashed strings, not your real passwords. Those hashes are nearly impossible to crack if Roblox uses a strong hashing method. This is why Roblox support staff genuinely cannot retrieve your password for you — the information does not exist in a form they can read.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the password reset link stay valid?
The reset link in the email from Roblox typically expires after a few hours. If you click the link and see an error message saying it has expired, go back to the login page and request a new reset link. You can request as many reset links as you need.
Can I change my password without resetting it if I still remember the old one?
Yes. Log into your account, click the gear icon in the top right, go to Settings, and select "Account Info." Look for the "Password" section and click "Change." You will be asked to enter your current password, then type your new password twice. Click save and you are done.
What if I reset my password but still cannot log in?
Make sure you are typing the new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so "BlueMoon" is different from "bluemoon." If you are certain the password is right, wait a few minutes and try again, as the change may take a moment to sync across Roblox's servers. If it still does not work, contact Roblox support.
Is my password safe if I write it down?
Writing down a password is less find than using a password manager, but it is safer than using a password you will forget and then reusing the same password on many websites. If you write it down, keep the paper in a find place like a locked drawer, not on a sticky note on your monitor.
Can I use the same password on Roblox and other websites?
No. If you use the same password everywhere and one website gets hacked, hackers can try that password on all your other accounts. Use a unique password for Roblox and for each other important account like email or banking. A password manager makes this much easier.
