Among my many years on Roblox on many different accounts I've noticed that hacking is one of the largest issues in the Roblox community, having it be so easy is no help in any way either. Whilst I do believe it would cost quite a sum of money, giving authenticators out for free to the Robloxian community would not only be beneficial to the Staff at Roblox, increasing the amount of people playing due to the fact that there's less chance of being hacked for having a large group, being hated by another group, having a lot of Robux, or simply because someone thinks it fun to hack others accounts. Many large games have done this; such as,World of Warcraft(One of the largest MMORPGS on the market I might add.) Star Wars the Old Republic. Not only would the authenticators bring more players to Roblox, but it could also cause people to buy Builders Club or buy Robux without the fear of someone being capable of hacking them and stealing their money. Add authenticators, they are only beneficial to both the people working at Roblox, and the ones that are playing your game, and paying for stuff that gives you the money for paychecks.

In simplicity the job of an authenticator is to give you a randomly generated set of numbers to type in to log in. While keeping in mind the authenticator would be entirely by choice. You are not forced to use it. Though with it is practically impossible to hack an account due to the fact that the authentication code would he required

CAPTCHAs can be bypassed, however.

Not if done correctly. World of Warcraft had a very nice thing going for it before authenticators were added. People could make serious money by hacking people accounts, selling their gear and stealing their gold then selling the gold on websites. Or simply selling the account. But once the authenticators were added suddenly the only ones still getting hacked were the ones without authenticators.

1) You can't stop "hackers"
2) Nothing solves the "hacker" "problem".

I never said it was to stop hackers. That is impossible. But the authenticator increases account security by quite a large amount

It may stop the smaller "hackers" but I guarantee, it won't stop medium/advanced "hackers".

There are large businesses in China that hack accounts for a living that can't get passed an authenticator. And the hackers went to college to learn their stuff. If down right, it is nearly impossible to bypass an authenticator

Its hard to imagine the technology goes and hacking also keep coming. We can't resist this thing as we keep try to keep making anti hacking system, new hacking system keep coming. Its hard to stop, times come and times goes. The hacker has already grown in 1960. I personally want answer of why they want to hack and keeping children had no fun with the games itself.

An authenticator is a little hand held device that you press a button to give you a number as your p.word, the p.word after a single use
is destroyed...
Only if you make us pay, otherwise handing out them to NBC users is largely impractical, expensive and gains the mods nothing. No support

"Hacking" on ROBLOX can only happens these ways:
•Someone has a very obvious or weak PW
•Someone falls for a scam
•Has a keylogger
•Logs onto a phishing site

There's no possible way to "hack" groups or anything on the site, unless you obtained private information, or (1/1000000 chance) had access to all the roblox databases, and by that time i'm sure the hacker would hack more than just a group.
