How to Change Your Roblox Password and Username
Roblox allows players to update their password and username through the account settings menu. Changing your password improves security, while changing your username helps personalize your profile. Both actions require access to your account and may require verified contact information.
How to Change Your Password
Updating your password is important for keeping your account secure. Roblox recommends changing it regularly, especially if you suspect unauthorized access.
- Go to your Roblox Settings.
- Open the Account Info tab.
- Find the Change Password option.
- Enter your current password.
- Create and confirm your new password.
Make sure your new password is strong and unique. Avoid using personal information or simple combinations.
Password Requirements
- Must contain a mix of letters and numbers.
- Should not be reused from other websites.
- Should be kept private and not shared with others.
If your email or phone is verified, Roblox may send a security code to confirm the change.
How to Reset Your Password if You Forgot It
If you cannot remember your password, you can reset it using the recovery tools.
- Click Forgot Password or Username? on the login page.
- Enter your verified email or phone number.
- Follow the instructions in the recovery message.
After resetting, log in again and update your security settings.
How to Change Your Username
Roblox allows users to change their username, but the change requires a fee in Robux. Other players will see your new name, but your account data, friends, and purchases remain unchanged.
- Go to Settings.
- Open the Account Info section.
- Click Change Username.
- Enter your current password for security confirmation.
- Choose a new username and confirm the change.
Roblox will check if the new username is available. If it is already taken, you must choose another one.
Username Change Requirements
- Usernames must follow Roblox’s community rules.
- No inappropriate or misleading words.
- No impersonation of other users or Roblox staff.
- Must be unique and not already registered.
The old username becomes available for others after the change, except for display names.
Display Name vs Username
Roblox offers two types of names:
- Username — your unique login identifier, used in links and login.
- Display Name — the name shown in games and chats.
Display names are free to change once every seven days, while username changes cost Robux.
Protecting Your Account During Changes
For better security:
- Enable Two-Step Verification.
- Verify your email and phone number.
- Use a strong password and update it regularly.
If you notice unauthorized changes, secure your account immediately using recovery tools.
Summary
Changing your Roblox password and username is simple through the account settings menu. Password updates are essential for security, while username changes help personalize your profile. By verifying your contact information and enabling Two-Step Verification, you can ensure your account stays protected during and after any changes.
