How to Change Your Password on Roblox (All Devices & Scenarios)
Changing your Roblox password is one of the most common account tasks — whether you're locking down a compromised account, setting something more secure, or handing a device to a younger player. The process varies slightly depending on whether you're logged in or locked out, and which device you're using.
Why Changing Your Roblox Password Matters 🔐
Roblox accounts hold real value. Robux balances, limited-edition items, and years of progress make them frequent targets for phishing and credential-stuffing attacks. Roblox itself recommends updating your password if you notice any unusual activity — unfamiliar purchases, changed display names, or unexpected friend requests sent from your account.
Beyond security incidents, routine password hygiene — updating every few months, avoiding reused passwords — reduces your exposure significantly.
How to Change Your Roblox Password When You're Logged In
This is the straightforward path. You know your current password and want to replace it.
On Desktop (Browser)
- Log in to roblox.com
- Click the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings
- Select Security from the left-hand menu
- Under the Password section, click Change Password
- Enter your current password, then your new password twice to confirm
- Click Save
Changes take effect immediately. Any other active sessions may remain logged in depending on your device and browser, so if security is a concern, manually log out of other devices afterward.
On Mobile (iOS or Android App)
- Open the Roblox app and tap the three-dot menu (bottom-right on iOS, or hamburger menu on Android)
- Go to Settings
- Tap Security
- Select Change Password
- Enter your current password, then your new password twice
- Tap Save
The mobile flow mirrors the desktop experience closely. Some older versions of the app label this section slightly differently, but the Security tab is consistently the right place to look.
How to Reset Your Roblox Password If You're Locked Out
If you've forgotten your password or suspect your account has been accessed without your permission, the reset flow is different — and it depends on what account recovery information you have attached.
Reset via Email
- Go to the Roblox login page
- Click Forgot Password or Username?
- Enter the email address linked to your account
- Check your inbox for a reset email from Roblox (check spam/junk if it doesn't arrive within a few minutes)
- Click the link in the email and follow the prompts to set a new password
The reset link is time-limited — typically it expires within a short window, so complete the process promptly after requesting it.
Reset via Phone Number
If your account has a verified phone number attached:
- Follow the same steps above but select phone number instead of email
- Enter the number linked to your account
- Roblox will send a verification code via SMS
- Enter the code and set your new password
No Email, No Phone Number Attached 🚨
This is where things get complicated. Accounts created without an email or phone number — common with younger players who signed up quickly — have limited self-service recovery options. In this case, your path is through Roblox Support directly. You'll need to provide account ownership details (username, original creation details, billing history if applicable) to verify identity. Recovery isn't guaranteed, and the process can take time.
This is one of the strongest arguments for adding a verified email to any Roblox account, regardless of the player's age.
What Makes a Strong Roblox Password
Roblox enforces basic password requirements — minimum length and a mix of character types — but meeting the minimum isn't the same as being secure.
| Password Type | Example Pattern | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Short, single word | sunshine | Weak |
| Word + numbers | sunshine123 | Weak |
| Mixed case + symbols | Sun$h1ne! | Moderate |
| Passphrase | BlueTaco!Runner22 | Strong |
| Random generated | kQ8#mVz2!pLw | Very Strong |
Password managers (apps that generate and store complex passwords) handle the tradeoff between strength and memorability. For a Roblox account tied to real purchases, using a generated password stored in a manager is worth considering.
Avoid reusing the same password across other accounts — if a different service is breached, that credential can be tested against Roblox automatically.
Additional Security: Two-Step Verification
Changing your password is one layer. Roblox also supports two-step verification (2SV), which requires a secondary code — sent via email or an authenticator app — when logging in from an unrecognized device. Even if someone obtains your password, 2SV blocks them from completing the login.
You'll find the 2SV settings in the same Security section where you changed your password.
The Variables That Affect Your Specific Situation
The steps above cover the standard cases, but what actually applies to you depends on a few things:
- Whether you're currently logged in or trying to recover access from outside
- What recovery info is attached to the account (email vs. phone vs. neither)
- Which device you're using (browser, iOS, Android, or console — note that password changes aren't available from the Xbox app directly)
- Whether the account belongs to a child under a Roblox parental supervision setup, which may involve additional verification steps through the parent's account
Each of these shifts which path is available to you and how much friction you'll encounter along the way.
