In my opinion, I feel like the account security in ROBLOX is great, but also not as great as the same time. I was thinking maybe ROBLOX could so something as Steam does with the steam keys and stuff, like if a person logs into a roblox account from an unfamiliar IP/device then they would be forced to enter a key that would be sent to the person's ROBLOX verified email address.

But what if the person doesn't have an email address or never verified their account? There's a lot of flaws, but I think you may be on to something good.

@XxX
You got a good point there, what's your idea on this? Give me your honest detailed opinion.

No. This type of system is so safe that Gabe Newell gave out his steam login details and to this day nobody has logged in to his account apart from him.

Support but mobile phone verification like Steam Guard would be fine too.

I don't really think ROBLOX needs to add anymore security to their accounts, verified email seems to be enough. Once an account is verified on an email, it's technically there forever and nobody can really steal it. However I do think that ROBLOX should do a sort of "key" thing like you said. But the issue with that is what if the person forgets their code and is forever locked out of their account? It's such a risky thing to do, but maybe they could do a sort of phone verification almost?

What if you fall victim to a scam? It would be a very different conversation then, wouldn't it?

Hmmm you may have an point but the key still sounds risky to me.

@XxX Well I think that ROBLOX should add more security to the accounts, yeah yeah verification blah blah blah... verification helps but I feel like it's not enough.. which is why as I said before they need to make a "key" to log in from an different computer, device or unfamiliar IP that's never logged into the account before. And don't worry about that "forgetting their key part" because if they forget it all they would have to do is generate a new one from the accounts page. And they wouldn't have to worry about putting in their key if they had gotten a new computer just as long as it's from the IP that the account was originally created on.

In reply to your previous comment:

Steam Guard is a code that resets every 30 seconds. Every time you login you will be asked to enter the code (that you see on your phone). If you lose your phone there is a recovery code which you will be asked to note down somewhere.

It's not risky. It's safe.

Yeah, but she said the key would be sent to that person's verified email, but what if they don't have an verified email address? Would they still be able to get access to their account?

t wouldn't be sent to "said person's email", it would be displayed on their phone in the ROBLOX app.

@XxX See, at least brendan gets what I'm talking about here. What's so hard that you don't understand about, I could give you a whole full detailed response on what I'm trying to say here.

@XxXCutieGirlXxxX don't you get it? Research it or something. It' optional.

Google "Steam Guard" and "Steam Mobile Authenticator".
