With Roblox 2 step verification, even if someone has your Roblox account password, he will never access your account from any device because he will need the verification code that Roblox will send you via email or from an authenticator app every time the login was from a new device, that you can’t log into Roblox until you’ve finished using it.

👉How to turn on 2 step

verification on Roblox

You can enable 2-Step Verification with an authenticator app or your email address.

This works for any browser or mobile app. To do so, follow the instructions below:

-> Go to your Roblox account

-> Select Settings

-> Click on Security tab

-> Choose the way to activate two step verification

It is recommended to have only one step verification method.

►With an authenticator app

-> Turn on Retrieve codes from an authenticator app to confirm your identity

-> Enter your password to verify your account

Now go to your device app and install Google authenticator that will scan your code.

Use your device to scan your QR code and follow the instructions on both Google authenticator and your Roblox account.

Each time you log in to your account, you will enter the code found in your google authenticator app to access your Roblox account. Google authenticator replaces the codes continuously, if your authenticator verification code does not work, then you must enter the new code that appears in the app.

If you no longer have access to the device where google authenticator is installed, you can use your recovery codes (Keep them carefully because you will use them if you no longer have access to your mobile or google authenticator).

You can retrieve your recovery codes if you have lost them.

-> Click on Generate under the recovery codes section

-> Enter your account password 

-> Save your recovery codes

► With an email

Your email must be already verified. To verify your email:

-> Go to Settings

-> Select Account Info tab

-> Select Verify Email button

An email will be sent to your email address. Follow the instructions to verify your email.

The email address that you use in your account should be one of yours or for your parent and never for someone else.

Now let’s activate your email for Roblox 2 step verification.

-> Turn on Email codes to confirm your identity

-> Enter your password to verify your account

Next time that you log in, you will have to enter a 6-digit security code that Roblox will send you via your email. If you fail to receive the two-step verification email, check your spam, junk, promotions, social or whatever folders and make sure to add the email address

no-reply@roblox.com to your email contacts.

Please know that 2-step email verification codes expire after 15 minutes and won’t work if the code was previously mistyped in your account. Please, try using the re-send code.

👉How to turn off 2 step

verification on Roblox

In case you change your mind to deactivate 2 step verification you just have to turn it off in the same way you activated it.

-> Go to your Roblox account

-> Select Settings

-> Click on Security tab

-> Turn off Retrieve codes from an authenticator app to confirm your identity

-> Enter your password to verify your account

Or

-> Turn off Email codes to confirm your identity

-> Enter your password to verify your account

The reason why Roblox 2 step verification is so annoying is that you have to enter the security code every time you want to access your Roblox account, or some other action is done in your account that is not expected. Due to Roblox troubles you can’t even log in to your account even if the code is correct. And since you are in a hurry and excited to play your favorite games, you might want to disable this option even if it protects your Roblox account.

👉Mistakes to avoid when you turn on Roblox 2-step verification

In case you have not yet activated Roblox 2-step verification, or you have already activated it, but you can access your Roblox account, be careful and avoid these mistakes before your account get locked.

Please, follow the steps that apply to you:

➧If you have the manual QR code, but you lost the recovery codes, you can get new ones from your Roblox account security settings. New recovery codes will eventually replace lost codes.

Always save your new recovery codes (10 codes), because you will not be able to view them afterward. They will be used to recover your account if you lose access to your authenticator app, your phone, or your email.

➧If you don’t have your QR manual code even if you saved your recovery codes (The manual code is important if you uninstall your authenticator or if you lose your Roblox authenticator account). Do the following: Turn off your 2-step verification with authenticator and turn it back on.

-> Click on Can’t scan the QR code? at the bottom of the code

-> Click on Click here for manual entry

-> Save your QR manual code

Now enter or scan The QR code to activate Roblox 2-step verification in your authenticator installed in your mobile.

The main thing is to keep your manual code that you can enter manually, in any device in case:

-You lose your phone to scan QR code.

-Or you are logged out of your Roblox account.

-Or if you have only one device (mobile) that you use to access your Roblox account and where the authenticator app is also installed.

To enter your QR code manually:

-> Open your authenticator app

-> Click on the + sign at the right bottom

-> Click on Enter a setup key

-> Enter account details with the account name (you choose just to be unique from the other accounts you have on your authenticator), and type in your QR code (your key)

-> Return to your Roblox account to continue the 2-step verification process, and enter the Roblox generated code that appears on your authenticator

-> Save your new recovery codes

To scan your QR code:

-> Open your authenticator app

-> Click on the + sign at the right bottom

-> Click on Scan a QR code

-> Raise your mobile and scan the QR code that you have on your Roblox account

-> Enter the Roblox generated code that appears on your authenticator

-> Save your new recovery codes

RECAP 1:

When you activate 2-step verification by authenticator, keep your manual QR code and recovery codes. QR manual codes can be entered on any authenticator, on any mobile and you can still access your Roblox account even if your work (Roblox account and authenticator) is done on one device (mobile).

Note: If you turn on 2-step verification by authenticator off then on, the manual QR code will change too and the old one will be disabled.

To sign in:

-If you lose your manual QR code, use Recovery codes.

-If you lose the manual QR codes and your recovery codes, contact Roblox customer service.

RECAP 2:

If you lose your email, you can use your recovery codes to access your Roblox account.

Note: If you have 1 recovery code left, do not sign out before generating new recovery codes.
