Tips to Protect your Roblox Account

You can follow the given tips to protect your Roblox account.

1. 2-Step Verification

2-step verification is the most prominent way of securing any account online. It adds an extra layer of security to your Roblox account by asking you for a 6-digit code each time you login.

This code is sent to your email address and protects your account quite well. You can activate this from the “Security” tab in “Account Settings.”

2. Strong Password

Your password is a major security element in your profile, so you should try keeping a strong and unique one. To be secure, do not keep a password that people can guess easily. Here are some tips by Roblox for creating a strong password for yourself:

Use a non-standard mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
Use uncommon words or phrases.
Regularly change your password.
Keep your password safe and never share it with anyone.

3. Remember Logging Out

Remember to log out if you ever play on a shared device other than your personal one. Don’t just close the system and leave — log out from the device whenever you are done. This way, no other person will have access to your profile.

4. Phishing Messages and Scam Sites

You might have seen links and messages offering free rewards when you use Roblox. You should be alert with them as they are fake and never fill in your login credentials on any external links. Also, you must only rely on Roblox’s official website or mobile app.

If you find any such links, you must report them to Roblox’s moderation team at once.

Verdict

These tips might sound normal to you but believe me, and they can work wonders for you. A little alertness can save you a lot of time and keep you tension-free. So, you must follow them to protect your Roblox account, as it stores all your private information. The processes are easy and contain zero hassle. We are sure that Roblox will introduce similar ways to keep users’ accounts safe soon.

Use a unique password. Your password should be really hard to guess! Never make it obvious, like "12345678", "abcdefgh", your username, or your street name. Your password should be at least 8 characters long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Be very creative. For example, try the last name of someone you don't know too well plus a number and an exclamation point at the end.

Hackers can find information about you online and use it to guess your password. So if you live at 123 Williams St, a hacker may try 123Williams as your password.

Never give your password to anyone. Even if someone is trying to offer you free Builders Club or Robux, never tell anyone your real password. A Roblox admin will never ask you for your password, so if someone claims to work at Roblox and asks for your password, they are trying to hack you.

Log out of Roblox when you're finished playing. This is especially important if you're using a computer that other people use, even if it's someone you trust. This means that even if you sign in to Roblox on your best friends computer, you should sign out—you never know who might have access to your friend's computer.

Turn on 2-step verification (2SV). When you use 2-step verification, nobody will be able to sign in to your Roblox account even if they do get a hold of your password. This is because each time you sign in to Roblox, you'll get a special code in your email account that you'll have to enter in Roblox to finish signing in.[1] Here's how to set up 2SV:

First, log into Roblox and go to your settings. If you're on a computer, click the gear to get there. On a phone or tablet, tap the three dots.[2]
If you haven't verified your email address, select Account Info, and then Verify Email. Go to your email inbox and click the link in the message from Roblox to verify.
Now go back to Settings and click the Security tab.
Click or tap Two Step Verification to turn it on.
Enter your password to confirm.

Enable Account PIN. In the event that a hacker does access your account, your 4-digit PIN will prevent them from changing any settings, such as your email, phone number, or password. You should still reset your password in case they may be able to find your PIN.

First, log into Roblox and go to your settings. If you're on a computer, click the gear to get there. On a phone or tablet, tap the three dots.
If you haven't verified your email address, select Account Info, and then Verify Email. Go to your email inbox and click the link in the message from Roblox to verify.
Now go back to Settings and click the Security tab.
Click or tap Account PIN to turn it on.
Type in a 4-digit PIN
Write down your PIN somewhere or use a password manager so that you do not forget it.
If you do forget your PIN it can only reset by contacting Roblox Support.[1]

Don't add anyone else's email address to your account. The only email address connected to your Roblox account should be yours. If you put another person's email address there, they can request your password and steal your account.

Never trust "free Robux generators" or Roblox cheat sites. Roblox has a secure system, so people can't actually hack Robux into your account. If a website that claims to give you free Robux or special cheat codes asks for your password, close the page!

You may see comments from people that claim the site works. Don't believe them. They're either fake comments the creator put up, or people who say that just to make other people believe that it's real. They might even get paid to say stuff like that.
Why can't you hack Robux? All Roblox currency is stored on Roblox servers. Hacking servers is considered very difficult, and is also illegal. Hackers will receive fines, and prison terms if they are convicted of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, if they are in the US (which is very broad, so they won't be able to tread the line).

Don't use your Roblox username and password anywhere except Roblox. One of the most common ways players get hacked is by filling out surveys and entering their Roblox username and password when filling out surveys.[3] Even if a survey or non-Roblox website says to enter your Roblox password, do not enter it.

- If you retrieve your account and you want to change your password back, check if the email holding the account is changed. If it is, do not change the password. If you do, a message will be sent to that email asking if they want to confirm the password, which will allow the hacker to see it
  
  Thanks!
