PGers (passguessers, for those of you who don't know what that is. I use the term "PGer" because if I said "hacker" or "exploiter," some politically correct guy would come up and correct me, saying that you can't be "hacked" on ROBLOX) can do an insane amount of damage to your ROBLOX account. In fact, if they're determined enough, they can completely ruin your entire ROBLOX life.
They can spend all your money, delete all your clothing, delete everything in your place and reset all your previous place versions, get you exiled from all your groups, remove all your friends, and get you banned from ROBLOX. You know what's protecting all of this? Just one p@ssw0rd.
So, my simple suggestion is, to give players the option to secure all aspects of their account with additional p@ssw0rds. For money, you could create separate accounts for the money and give them a different p@ssw0rd apiece, so for instance, if you had 10,000 ROBUX, you could put all of that into one account and protect it with one p@ssw0rd, or you could put it into 20 accounts of 500 ROBUX and protect it with 20 p@ssw0rds. It sounds like a lot of p@ssw0rds, and it is, but remember, this is only OPTIONAL.
The same could apply for clothing, and the "Leave Group" button. After clicking "Confirm" on the "Are you sure?" box that pops up, you would also have to enter a p@ssw0rd before you leave the group.
Preventing the PGer from banning you and getting you exiled from your group would be a little more tricky. Since they could get you banned from ROBLOX by doing something ingame, writing something inappropriate on the forums, in your description, in your place, in comments, etc., you would have to protect ALL of these with p@ssw0rds.
But as for the general idea, well, tell me what you think.
Key pointer to remember:
This is OPTIONAL. So you can choose to protect your entire account with just one p@ssw0rd, it's only for those on-edge people that are extremely afraid of losing all their money and clothing.
I'm open to all relative feedback. |

| Well... I support, but suppose it's someone who knows or guessed your p@ssw0rd correctly. I mean, my brother knows my p@ssw0rd, and my friends could probably guess it, if they really wanted to. But, I suppose, it would be OK, although, in my point of view, it would get quite annoying. |

Pure support! Here's a cookie forged in supportinium! I can't lose my gear easely when this happends to me.. HOORAY!
But: It could be also a dream for the PGers, if someone don't use this method of safeguard, PGers can just put a p@assey on EVERYTHING, it acts like a locked account then. If you want to put it away, can you also use your eeeeemaaaaaail for that?

@incredy
If the PGers were to do that, it would come down to the same thing as before. However, this time, instead of losing all your money, places, etc., you would be locked from them. That would be the worst in the case of places, because you would never be able to edit your place again.
I think there should also be some kind of personal information you need to enter whenever you want to set up a p@ssw0rd for something. You have to put in your 3m@il when you want to modify your p@ssw0rd, it should be the same for the rest of the p@ssw0rds.
But it also doesn't have to be p@ssw0rds, it could also be questions, such as, "Where were you December 10th, 2009?" |

Add a 2 question security code incase they forget "In your opinion, who is your favorite noob?" Recruitsoldier
ALSO What if the person didn't put it in a safeguarded area? The PGer could just put all the extra stuff away.

Support. A PGer recently got into my account and spent 15k of my tickets(guess how much I had. Yep. 15k), and deleted me from all of my groups
The good news is the person told me he was the one who did that. The bad news? It was in a friend request |

Your idea kinda reminds me of something that would accommodated for the Parental Accounts...
...If we still had them. Topic-related, I remain neutral.

| Okay, so you could set up personal questions with answers, that basically only you would know, right? |

What would you all think about a PIN (Personal Identification Number) system? This is a system employed by other sites to provide additional protection; it's also similar to how debit cards and other payment cards operate. |

@chief
The thing is, a PIN only consists of numbers, whereas a p@ssw0rd would consist of letters and numbers and would likely be easier to remember.
Out of the three forms of security we've came up with so far, this is how I'd order them based on what I think is most effective:
1. P@ssw0rds 2. Question/answer system 3. PIN system
However, it is up to you, because you are a ROBLOX staff member. Regardless of how the system is set up, I would still very much like it. It would offer much more protection against PGers. |
