How To Reset Your Roblox Password Safely
Changing your Roblox password is kinda crucial if you wanna keep your account safe — especially if you’ve been hearing about hacking attempts or just want a stronger password. Whether you forgot it, feeling paranoid about security, or just need a reset, this walkthrough covers both mobile and desktop. Because, of course, Roblox has to make it harder than necessary sometimes.
Step 1: Access Your Roblox Account
First off, you gotta log in. Fire up the Roblox app on your phone or hop onto the website on your desktop. Enter your creds — email, username, whatever you use — to get into that dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to Account Settings
Once you’re in, look for the gear icon in top right. Click that sucker, and a dropdown menu pops up. Choose Settings. Easy enough. On some setups it’s hidden behind a three-dot menu or a profile icon, so the gear is the safest bet.
Step 3: Select Account Info
This is where things get slightly wonky. On the left, you’ll see options—click Account Info. This screen has your current password info and stuff about your account. Not sure why they show your password here, but hey, here we are. If it’s not visible, don’t panic — sometimes it’s just a placeholder or masked for security.
Step 4: Change Your Password
Scroll down to the Login Method section. If your current password is visible, yay. If not, it might just say “Password is hidden”, but the pencil icon should still be there. Click the pencil icon — a prompt will ask for your current password (to make sure it’s really you), then let you add a new one. Make it strong, so no brute-force creeps can crack it. Confirm it by re-typing.
Step 5: Update Your Password
Hit Update when done. You should see a confirmation message — or at least, the page refreshes. That’s your cue the password’s been changed. Just don’t forget that new password. Sounds obvious, but with so many passwords floating around, it’s easy to forget after a while.
Step 6: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (Optional)
If you’re paranoid (like most of us should be), turn on 2FA. Head back into Settings, then jump to Security. Follow the prompts — typically, they send a code to your email or phone. This isn’t mandatory, but it’s a good layer of extra security, especially if your account is tied to a bunch of Robux or skins.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
Stuff that trips people up:
- Make sure you’re entering your current password correctly. It’s case-sensitive, and sometimes it’s just mis-typed at the worst moment.
- Your new password should meet Roblox’s standards—there’s usually a minimum length or special characters they demand.
- If you totally forgot your current password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page. Sometimes it takes a couple tries for these resets to go through, especially during peak times.
And if nothing works, try clearing your cookies/cache or switching browsers. Sometimes Roblox’s website just bugs out.
Conclusion
Changing your password isn’t rocket science but it’s kinda annoying when it’s locked behind menus and popups. Still, it’s necessary. Do it regularly if you’re kinda serious about security, and consider turning on 2FA if you haven’t. Protect your progress and that sweet Robux stash.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I forget my Roblox password?
If you forget your password, just click on the Forgot Password link on the login page. Follow the instructions, and they’ll send a reset link or code to your email or phone. Not always instant, so patience might be needed.

Best practice is every 3-6 months or if there’s a security breach. Not sure why it works, but being proactive helps avoid headaches later.

Not mandatory, but honestly, enabling it gives you way more peace of mind — especially if your account has high value or personal info. Just a simple code on your phone, and some peace of mind.
