Why the Parent PIN is the Ultimate Account Shield
Even if a hacker compromises an account password through a credential stuffing attack or phishing link, they CANNOT lock the legitimate owner out if the Parent PIN is active.
The Parent PIN acts as a secondary cryptographic firewall. An attacker who has entered the account cannot alter the registered email, cannot change the login password, cannot disable two-factor authentication, and cannot turn off spending restrictions without entering this confidential 4-digit number.
How to Activate the 4-Digit PIN
Enable the Parent PIN in under 2 minutes by following these instructions:
Log into the Roblox account and open Settings (Gear Icon) on web or mobile.
Click Parental Controls in the settings menu.
Locate the Parent PIN section and toggle the switch to Enabled.
Enter a secure 4-digit code. Memorize this number or store it in a password manager. Do not share it with the child.
Enter the code a second time and click Unlock / Save. A confirmation badge will display indicating the PIN is active.
Which Settings are Locked by the PIN?
Once the PIN is set, the following critical settings require unlocking before any modifications can occur:
- •Account Info: Changing the password, linked email address, or verified phone number.
- •Security Settings: Disabling Two-Step Verification (TOTP, Authenticator App, or Security Keys).
- •Privacy Controls: Expanding in-game chat, messaging, or party invitations.
- •Parental Controls: Modifying age maturity sliders or monthly spending budgets.
What to Do if You Forget the PIN
If you forget your PIN, click the "Forgot PIN?" link. Roblox dispatches a password-protected reset link to the account's verified parent email.
If the email was changed or is inaccessible, navigate to roblox.com/support, select "Account Hacked or Can't Log In" > "Forgot PIN", and provide proof of original ownership (such as billing receipts).
