I have an Idea for account security. Say that I want to stop using roblox for a few months for whatever reason and I don't want there to be a chance that my account gets hacked in my absence. So the way my Idea works is that you go into your account settings and click a button called Deactivate account. when you press this your account gets deactivated and the only way to reactivate it is to login usually then Roblox sends you a code via e mail and you then enter the code into a box and then your account gets reactivated. This can stop hackers from hacking accounts at times when the owner might not realise for months and by then it would be too late.

I suggest making two possible features to this:

"Holiday mode", and "deactivation mode".

Holiday mode will deactivate your account as said, but you will have to enter how long you want it deactivated. During this period, the account would not be able to be accesses by anybody, and a message would pop up on the user's profile instead of the "item you requested does not exist", it would say "We're sorry, but this user has holiday mode on!". (There would be an option whether to show that message or show profile.) Once the user tries to log in after holiday mode is over, you'll get an email with a link in it you have to click to reactivate your account for good.

Then there's your mode.

No support
because if they can sneak into you're roblox stuff while it is deactivated it will tell them your emayeil, which if they can break into a roblox profile , they can probably do the same for your e-male
(Had to fix it because something was apparently bad..and yes, I know how to spell the slang term for Virtual mail)

You can't use the account if it's deactivated, silly.

Case one: when an account is deactivated, the name becomes available. What if someone takes that name? Roblox does not want o just take someone's new account away, so you just lost your account.
Case two: there is a screen for deactivated accounts that the hacker can access once logged into an account (and if not, he could pull a case one) that has the users virtual mail things on it, and just continue from here with what's in my previous post.

No, the name doesn't become available, and if it did, wouldn't in this case. Stop jumping to conclusions.

"Case two: there is a screen for deactivated accounts that the hacker can access once logged into an account (and if not, he could pull a case one) that has the users virtual mail things on it, and just continue from here with what's in my previous post."

If you're banned and try to use the account, you're stuck on the banned screen. Simple as that, stop being an idiot.

First
I will not report you for PA if you read AND follow the rules of this sub-forum
Secondly, most of the cyber thieves use a keylogger and/or scripting access. Also they could use a proxy.
Which those can see all registered accounts of a computer user via a cache log.

You really think the Roblox creators would allow those sort of things to happen?
Of course they wouldn't allow that, and find a solution to block those kind of things.

Seriously, those are some good points but they would be fixed in the feature if roblox has any brains...

The way this idea is described, during the time that the account is in "holiday mode" it will NOT be accessible by anyone at all, as the account has been disabled technically for the allotted time. If the account was to be taken, I'd think that it'd involve someone with too much time on their hands hacking into Roblox's system and changing the allotted time or be reactivating it.

None-the-less, Support

yeah, but there is the variable in there
And no company likes the 'what if' factor there.

@BCChainBroken

So your point is that while their account is deactivated it's dangerous 'cause someone could use something to find out their account information and get into their account, followed by hacking into ROBLOX's system in order to gain control of the deactivated account? That's not an argument.

Deactivated or not, you can get hacked. If anything, it makes it harder to get hacked while deactivated, which is the whole point of this thread. You're really just ranting. Think things through until you understand what the thread is saying.


@Idea

I just want to add that I got my inspiration from steam on how if you log on from a new computer you need to do that to login.

It would be better if it was called "Vacation mode" So your account won't be visible to other users until you do the Via e-mail...

I just thought it would be a good idea so people aren't spamming asking if I got the idea from steam
(Actually I just wanted to post where I got the idea from)
