Creating a Roblox account takes less than 5 minutes. Here's exactly how to do it on any device.

Before You Start

You'll need:

  • An email address (required for account recovery — parents should use their own email for kids' accounts)
  • A username (this is public — don't use real names)
  • A birth date (this controls what privacy settings apply automatically)
Tip for parents:Use your own email address for your child's account so you receive any notifications and can recover the account if needed.

How to Create a Roblox Account on PC or Mac

  1. Go to roblox.com
  2. On the homepage, you'll see the signup form
  3. Enter your birth date (use your real date — it affects privacy settings)
  4. Enter a username — Roblox will tell you if it's taken
  5. Create a password (at least 8 characters)
  6. Click the Sign Up button
  7. Roblox may ask you to verify you're human — complete the puzzle
  8. You're in — Roblox will take you to your new home screen

Add an email after signup:

  1. Click the gear icon → Settings
  2. Click Account Info
  3. Add your email and verify it

This is important for account recovery.

Choosing a Good Username

Your Roblox username is public and permanent (you can pay Robux to change it later, but it's easier to get it right from the start).

Good username tips:

  • Don't use your real name
  • Don't use your birth year
  • Keep it under 20 characters
  • Avoid personal info like your city or school
  • Make it something you'll want to use for years

After You Sign Up

Once your account is created, do these three things:

1. Verify your email

Check your inbox for a verification email from Roblox and click the link.

2. Enable 2-Step Verification

Settings → Security → 2 Step Verification. This protects your account from being hacked.

3. Set up privacy settings (especially for kids)

Settings → Privacy. See our full parental controls guide for step-by-step setup.

Common Problems

"Username is already taken"

Add numbers or underscores. Try variations until you find one that works.

"Password doesn't meet requirements"

Must be at least 8 characters and not be your username.

"I didn't get the verification email"

Check your spam folder. If it's not there, go to Settings → Account Info and resend the verification.

"I can't remember my password"

Click Forgot Password on the login page. You'll need access to the email on the account.
