Creating an account takes about a minute. The choices you make during signup — especially the birthday and email — affect what features your account gets and how recoverable it is. Take an extra 30 seconds to do it right.
Step-by-step
- Go to roblox.com and click Sign Up.
- Enter your real birthday. Roblox uses this to set age-appropriate defaults and chat permissions. Lying makes your account harder to recover and may unlock features that shouldn't be available.
- Choose a username you're willing to keep. Changing it later costs Robux.
- Pick a strong, unique password (12+ characters, not used anywhere else).
- Choose your gender (optional) and click Sign Up.
- Add an email or phone number for account recovery, ideally a parent's email if the account is for a child.
Why a recovery email matters
Without a verified email or phone, a stolen account is almost impossible to get back. Add one immediately after signup under Account Info → Add Email.
Turn on two-step verification
Go to Settings → Security and turn on 2-Step Verification by email or authenticator. This single step protects against the vast majority of account takeovers. See our guide on protecting your Roblox account.
For parents creating a child's account
Use the child's real birthday so age-appropriate filters apply. Set the recovery email to a parent's email. After signup, set a parent PIN under Settings → Parental Controls.
Common mistakes
- Reusing a password from another website — the single biggest cause of hijacked Roblox accounts.
- Skipping the email step. An account with no email can't be recovered.
- Choosing a username with personal information.
