Roblox is primarily played by children and teenagers, making online safety a critical priority for both players and parents. This guide covers the most important safety features and practices to ensure a positive, secure experience.
Account Security: Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step when logging in, making it nearly impossible for attackers to access your account even if they have your password. Enable it in Account Settings > Security. Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator rather than SMS when possible.
Privacy Settings
In Privacy Settings, you can restrict who can message you, who can join your game, and what chat features are available. For younger players, consider setting all communication options to “Friends” only, which limits exposure to strangers. Roblox’s chat filter automatically blocks inappropriate content, but it’s not perfect.
Recognizing and Reporting Abuse
If you encounter harassment, inappropriate content, or suspected predatory behavior, use the in-game Report Abuse button immediately. Don’t engage with the offender — block and report. Roblox takes safety reports seriously and has a dedicated trust and safety team.
For Parents: Parental Controls
Parents can enable a 4-digit PIN in Account Settings to prevent children from changing their own privacy or spending settings. The Parental Controls section also allows monitoring of recent chats and limiting account spending. Consider using a family email address for the account so you receive all account notifications.
