Change your password from the Roblox website settings

To change your Roblox password, log into your account on the Roblox website, click the gear icon in the top right corner, and select Settings. On the left side, click Security, then find the Password section and click Change Password. You'll be asked to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches.

The new password takes effect immediately. You'll stay logged in on that device, but you may need to log in again on other devices or browsers where you were previously signed in. This is normal — Roblox is clearing old login sessions for security.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your password through Settings > Security on the Roblox website, not in the game client.
  • Your current password must be entered first, so you cannot change it if you've forgotten it from this screen.
  • A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • If you cannot remember your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page instead of the Settings screen.

What makes a strong Roblox password

Roblox requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long, but longer is better. A strong password combines uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — for example, BlueMoon$42River is stronger than blueriver42 because it mixes character types and is harder to guess.

Avoid passwords based on your username, real name, birthdate, or common words. Do not reuse a password from another account, especially not from email or banking sites. If someone compromises one site, they will try that same password on other accounts you own. A password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password can generate and store unique passwords for each site, so you only have to remember one master password.

Why you might need to change your password

Change your password if you suspect someone else knows it, if you used the same password on another website that was breached, or if you shared your account with someone and no longer want them to have access. You should also change it if you haven't updated it in over a year.

If you think your account has been hacked — for example, if you see items missing, trades you didn't make, or login attempts from unfamiliar locations — change your password immediately and then check your email address and phone number in Settings to make sure they haven't been changed. If your email has been altered, use the "Forgot Password" link to regain control before making other changes.

If you've forgotten your current password

The Settings screen requires you to enter your current password before you can set a new one. If you don't remember it, go to the Roblox login page and click Forgot Password? below the password field. Enter your username or email address, and Roblox will send a password reset link to the email attached to your account.

Click the link in that email within the time limit (usually a few hours), and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password without entering the old one. After you reset it, log back in with your new password on any device. Keep in mind that this reset method depends on your email account being secure — if someone else has access to your email, they can intercept this reset link.

Protecting your email address and recovery options

Your email address is the key to resetting your password if you forget it. Make sure the email address in your Roblox Settings is one you still use and can access. If someone changes your email address without permission, you lose the ability to reset your password and regain control of your account.

Check your email's own password security too — if someone gains access to your email account, they can reset your Roblox password and lock you out. Use a strong, unique password for your email account and enable two-factor authentication if your email provider offers it. Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo all support two-factor authentication, which adds a second verification step when you log in from a new device.

What happens after you change your password

You remain logged in on the device where you made the change. On other devices or browsers, you'll be logged out automatically within a short time. When you try to play Roblox on those devices, you'll need to enter your new password.

This logout process protects you if someone else was using your account on another device. If you see a device or location in your login history that you don't recognize, changing your password will sign that person out. You can view your recent login activity in the Security section of Settings to check for unfamiliar access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my password from the Roblox game client?

No. You must change your password through the Roblox website. Open a browser, go to roblox.com, log in, and use Settings > Security. The game client does not have a password change option.

How often should I change my Roblox password?

Change it at least once a year, or sooner if you think someone else knows it or if you reused it on another site that was breached. If you use a unique, strong password that only you know, yearly updates are usually enough.

Will changing my password delete my items or Robux?

No. Changing your password does not affect your inventory, Robux balance, or any game progress. It only changes how you log in.

What if I change my password but still can't log in?

Make sure you're typing the new password correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so BlueMoon42 is different from bluemoon42. If you're still locked out, use the Forgot Password link again to reset it once more.

Should I tell anyone my new password?

No. Never share your password with friends, family, or Roblox staff. Roblox employees will never ask for your password. If someone claims to be from Roblox and requests it, that is a scam.
