For Smartphones, Get the App from the Corresponding Store
For smartphones, install Roblox from the App Store if you have an iPhone, or from the Google Play Store if you have an Android.
Launch the App and Create an Account
Once the app installation is complete, launch the app and create an account. From 'Sign Up,' enter your date of birth and register a username to complete account creation, and you will be able to log in to Roblox.
List of Input Items for Account Creation
Item | Details / Notes |

Username | - Only alphanumeric characters and "_" can be used - Must be between 3 and 20 alphanumeric characters - Must be a username that is not already in use - Do not use your real name |
Password | - Must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters - Cannot be the same as your username - Do not use an easily guessable password |
If You Already Have an Account, Log In
If you already have a Roblox account, log in with the email address and password you registered with Roblox.
For Logging In from Another Device, Use Quick Login
If you want to log in on a different device, it's recommended to use Quick Login. Quick Login generates a special code on an already logged-in account, allowing you to log in without entering your password.
Reasons Why You Can't Log In to Roblox
Unstable Internet Connection
If your internet connection is unstable, you may not be able to log in to Roblox. Check if your connection is stable and try logging in again.
Roblox App Not Updated
If the game is not updated to the latest version, you may also be unable to log in. Check the official website or the store to see if there's an update for the Roblox app.
Error on Roblox's Side
If an error has occurred on Roblox's side or if it's undergoing maintenance, you won't be able to log in. Wait until Roblox resolves the issue.
Forgotten Password
If you have forgotten your login password, you will naturally be unable to log in. Reset your password to be able to log in.
What to Do When You Can't Log In to Roblox
Restart Your Device
Try restarting the device you are using to run Roblox. Restarting can sometimes resolve issues, including when the game is running slow.
Check Your Login Information
If your username or password is incorrect, you won't be able to log in. Roblox login information uses alphanumeric characters and is easy to mistype, so double-check for spelling errors.
If 'An Unexpected Error Occurred' Appears, Wait and See
If you see a message like 'An unexpected error occurred' when trying to log in, it's likely an error on Roblox's side. Try waiting a while and logging in again, or try changing your password and logging in once more. If that doesn't resolve the issue, it's recommended to contact the support form.
The Last Resort is to Recreate Your Account
If you couldn't change your password successfully, or if you hadn't previously set up an email address or phone number with Roblox, try recreating your Roblox account by signing up again. Your data will be lost and you'll start from scratch, but you'll be able to play Roblox again.
How to Prevent Login Problems
Write Down Your Login ID and Password
When you create your Roblox account, make sure to write down your username, ID, and password so you don't forget them. Also, to be safe in case you do forget, add your email address and phone number in the account settings after signing up.

Add a Passkey as a Login Method
From 'Login Methods' in your Account Info settings, adding a 'Passkey' allows you to log in using fingerprint authentication or similar methods without needing an ID or password. This significantly reduces the chance of being unable to log in, so set up a passkey when you create your account.
Protect Your Account with 2-Step Verification
If your account is hijacked by someone else, the likelihood of being unable to log in to Roblox increases. Adding 2-Step Verification in your security settings is recommended to protect your account.
How to Reset Your Password
Request a Password Reset
If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it by having Roblox send you an email. To reset your password, you must have registered an email address or phone number in your account settings.
