Configure Account Settings
Registering your email address and phone number in the account settings can protect your account. This increases the chances of recovering your account if you can no longer log in.
Set Up 2-Step Verification
Setting up 2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of identity confirmation, reducing the probability of unauthorized access. For more advanced 2-Step Verification, a separate app like "Authenticator" is required.
2-Step Verification Procedure
| Step | Method |
| 1. |  Install "Authenticator" on your smartphone |
| 2. |  Go to Roblox Settings > Security > Enable Authenticator App |
| 3. |  Scan the displayed QR code with Authenticator |
| 4. |  Enter the authentication code displayed in Authenticator |
| 5. |  Store the backup codes |
Configure Privacy Settings
Privacy settings allow you to restrict communication. By setting communication settings to "Custom," you can limit who can chat with you according to your preferences. It is recommended to initially set all items to "Friends" in the custom settings.
Communication Settings Details
| Setting | Restriction |
| Default | - Who can message me: Friends - Who can chat with me in app: Friends - Who can chat with me in experiences: Everyone |
| Custom | - All items can be adjusted manually - Recommended to set all to "Friends" |

Security Settings for Parents
Set Up Parental Controls
If you have young children, use parental controls to restrict the experiences they can play.
Configurable Items and Details
| Parent PIN | - Locks changes to settings - A PIN is required to change settings, so there's no worry about settings being changed without permission |
| Allowed Experiences | - Restricts playable experiences |
Turning Off Communication Settings is Recommended
In experiences, users can communicate with many unspecified users, so if you are concerned, enable "Account Restrictions." You can turn off communication settings by going to "Settings > Privacy > Account Restrictions > Enable."
