=== Determining if Your Account was Hacked ===

=== Restoring the Password ===
−
#Make sure you're actually hacked and didn't forget your password. Sometimes people think they are "hacked" if they have forgotten or lost their password.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 1.jpg|center]]
 +
# Try logging in with your password. If your password isn't being accepted, make sure you're using proper capitalization when necessary (and that the key is not on).[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 1.jpg|center]]
−
#*It's always best that you put in a real email on your ROBLOX account whenever you sign up. That will allow you to reset your password if you ever need to.
 +
#* Make sure to do a complete malware scan and remove all potential threads from your computer. Accounts are often hacked due after downloading bad software or browser extensions. If you're not sure how to fully scan for and remove malware, check out [[Remove Malware|How to Remove Malware]].
−
#Do not panic if your account has been stolen. You can still recover the account. First, click the 'forgotten password' link on the ROBLOX website.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 2.jpg|center]]
 +
# Go to https://ift.tt/2JDZ8Oo in a web browser. If you can't sign into your account, you can try resetting your password on the ROBLOX website.
−
#Watch your email for a message. After you've entered your email associated with your ROBLOX account, you should see an email from ROBLOX. Click on the link and you will be able to change your password from there. Do so quickly.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 3.jpg|center]]
 +
# Enter your email address and click . If you provided your email address to ROBLOX (and the hacker hasn't changed it), you should be able to reset it on the website.
−
 
 +
#* If you provided your mobile number to ROBLOX, you can use it to recover your password too. Click '''Use phone number to reset password''' below the "Submit" button, enter the number, and then click '''Submit'''. You'll receive a 6-digit code via text message.
−
=== Using an Email Address ===
 +
# Open the email from ROBLOX and click . This opens the password reset page in your browser.<ref>https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313070</ref>
−
#Try to remain calm. If your account has been stolen and you didn't have an email on it, you can still get it back. You may need to [[Make an Email Address for Free| create an email address]] and contact info@roblox.com.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 4.jpg|center]]
 +
#* If you're using a phone number to reset your account, enter the 6-digit code from the text message into the "Verify Phone" window and click '''Verify'''.
−
#Be prepared to provide proof that you own the account. Once you get your account back, make sure you verify your email on it. This way you won't ever lose access to your account again.
 +
#* It may take several minutes for the email to arrive. Check your Spam or Junk folder if you still haven't received the email after about 10 minutes.
−
 
 +
# Create a new password. If you were able to reach the password reset page, enter a new password into both blanks and click '''Submit'''. You can then sign into ROBLOX with your new account information.
−
=== Recovering Your Account without Email ===
 +
# Contact ROBLOX support if you can't reset the password. You can do so by filling out the form at https://ift.tt/2r9tWAH. Once ROBLOX support contacts you via email, you'll need to be able to prove the account belongs to you. Here are some tips for that process:
−
#Find out the hacker's email address. If your email has been changed by the hijacker, immediately log into your email associated with your ROBLOX account. You will be sent an email that your email has been changed. The email they send you will also show the hacker's email, giving you the chance to report it.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 5.jpg|center]]
 +
#* When filling out the form, use the email address you used to sign up for ROBLOX. Even if the hacker changed the email address on the account, ROBLOX can still see your original signup info.
−
#Contact the company. If the hacker verifies it on his email and you're locked out completely, contact info@roblox.com. They will ask that for ownership of the account. You can either give them a used ROBLOX card or a credit card you used to purchase ROBUX or Builders Club on your account. Once you have given them proof you are the owner of that account, your email will be reverted back.[[Image:Get a Hacked ROBLOX Account Back Step 6.jpg|center]]
 +
#* If you ever bought anything in ROBLOX, be prepared to answer questions about the amounts of purchase, credit card info, and PayPal account.

=== Setting Up 2 Step Verification ===
−
__parts__
 +
# Go to https://ift.tt/2l7jyqh in a web browser. Once you regain access to your hacked account, you should turn on 2-Step Verification to help keep your account secure in the future.<ref>https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/212459863</ref>
  +
#* When 2 Step Verification is enabled, ROBLOX will automatically send an email containing a verification code to the email address on file. You won't be able to completely log in until you enter that code. This keeps your account secure because anyone who signs in with your ROBLOX account must also have access to your email account.
  +
# Verify your email address. You can only use a verified email address for 2 Step Verification. Here's how to verify yours:
  +
#* Enter your email address into the blank (if you haven't already) and click '''Verify''' button.
  +
#* Open the email from ROBLOX (it should come from <nowiki>email_validate@roblox.com</nowiki>) and follow the on-screen instructions. If the email doesn't arrive in a few minutes, check the Spam or Junk folder.  
  +
#* Follow the instructions in the email to verify.  
  +
# Slide the "2 Step Verification" switch to the On (green) position. A confirmation message will appear.
  +
# Click to confirm. 2 Step Verification is now enabled for your account. When you sign into ROBLOX in the future, you'll receive an email that contains a code. You'll have to enter that code to sign in.  
 
==Tips==
  
==Tips==
−
*Turn on 2 factor authentication so if the hacker gets hold of your password, the hacker will also need to get a hold of your email account in order to sign in.
 +
* Make sure your email password and ROBLOX password are different from one another.
  +
* Never give your password to anyone, even if they claim to work for ROBLOX.
