**How can I Keep my Account Secure?**
(How many reps can you do?)
The most important step to take is to never give out your info, like your password or sensitive computer information like cookies, files or even seemingly random bits of text or other information from your browser or your computer. Requests for this information are often combined with fake offers of free currency(Robux), items, or Builders Club. They may claim to be an official ROBLOX survey or promotion (we cover how to know a real ROBLOX promotion/survey below). The only thing you'll get from these fake offers is a stolen account with all your items and currency taken.
Important ways to keep your account secure:
- Have a strong password. ROBLOX requires a password be 6-20 characters long and have 2 numbers and 4 letters, but we also recommend using non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. @#%-). Make sure your password cannot easily be guessed. It should be something only you would know. Including your user name as part of your password is never a good idea.
- Log out of your account any time you use a public/shared computer such as at school or a library, or after using a computer at another person's house.
- Never download any program or .exe file from an untrustworthy source and always have your parent's assistance and permission before downloading any file or program.
- Never change your email address on the account to someone else’s. Doing so, will allow that person to get password resets for your account.
- Verify your email address. Verifying your email address alerts you to changes in your password or email address on your account.
- Don’t fall for fake promotions, surveys or scams. ROBLOX promotions and surveys are always announced on our Official blog or via the Notification system and they will NEVER ask you for your password. If anyone asks you for your password in a survey or an offer for free memberships or Robux, this is a scam to steal your account. ROBLOX Staff will NEVER ask you for your password.
**Reporting Abuse**
(Phishers and scammers can’t lift this, bro.)
If you see someone asking for passwords or other personal information, posting offsite links, or attempt to exploit or sharing exploits, please use the Report Abuse buttons located throughout the site. Reporting allows our Moderators to remove the content and moderate the accounts. These are violations of the ROBLOX Terms of Service and Community Rules and Guidelines.
