I would like to suggest the use of Google Authenticator, for the simple sake of account safety, as it switches a code from an application from your very own phone, and is also impossible for anyone to know.

Why would this benefit ROBLOX?
- Safer environment for children of all ages, even if they are silly enough to give a hijacker their account details, they'd need to pass the authenticator which is next to impossible for anyone to do.
- PG'ing is a thing of the past.
- Even if you get KL'ed, they require to log into the account within a 90 second notice. as the code would become unavailable.
- There's no way to disable the authenticator besides email, and as it also can be put on an email account, it's next to impossible to remove it without the code.

Why do I suggest this?
I've seen the current ROBLOX security protocol, and it seems like the main focus is to tell people to not give out details, but if this awesome "friend" is offering them enough of ROBUX, they will give out their details without decent explanation required.

The Google Authenticator can be maintained by a parent, and kept safe from the children from just looking it up, as by the time the child gets the chance to even tell the hacker the code, and for the hacker to type all those details is way to slim, and won't succeed.

I sincerely hope this suggestion gets taken VERY serious, and gets enough support to make ROBLOX a more fun, secure social environment for children of all ages.

Yours sincerely,

Ultimized.

I would also like to say sorry in advance for the use of acronyms for key log and pass guessing, as ROBLOX does not allow me to post those words.

Don't be lazy and read it as it's for your own security's sake.

For those who are lazy:

TL;DR:
Some code or personal question that is enabled on each ROBLOX account to ensure the safety of the account. Even if some hacker or some skrub gets the pass of the account, answering the code or question would provide extra security.

There was previous forums like this.

Just like Google, another way of authorizing accounts is that if someone logs in with a different IP, the account is temporarily blocked. If someone lost the answer to the question, they can authorize using email or phone.

Now you did a tl;dr, I can support.

It's physically impossible to lose access to your acc, as the code is generated to your phone, and it can be removed by e-mail, but as google also allows the authenticator to be set for your e-mail, there's no risk.

If you are hacked, you were either phished or PG'd. Also, you're an idiot if you get "hacked."

"If you are hacked, you were either phished or PG'd. Also, you're an idiot if you get "hacked."

Phished won't be possible anymore, unless response time is within 1 minute and 30 seconds (Max) PG'd isn't possible anymore this way either.

Not sure why you wouldn't support.

Phishing and PGing is very possible and are the most common ways to breach an account.

With authenticator they become practically impossible to breach.

Accounts would be nearly impossible to breach if everyone learned about phishing and PGing.
