In light of that giant list of accounts that was posted from someone that using phising tools to obtain them, I think that ROBLOX should try adding better security to accounts, kind of like how Valve has Steam Guard for Steam accounts. It would greatly reduce the amount of accounts being stolen or having items being taken off of because they fell for a phising tool or had downloaded some sort of malware like a keylogger. I made a quick mock-up (took like 3 minutes, so it is pretty bad) in Photoshop of what they could possibly do with something like Steam Guard. https://twitter.com/111RBLX/status/611287966070255618 Anyways, that's all for now at least. -[ 111, 7 Year Veteran ]-

@historyrocks123 If the said computer has the client installed, it will would just refuse to allow people to sign into the account at all until they are able to verify the code. -[ 111, 7 Year Veteran ]-

Support. That way all the helpless kids on roblox that don't know any better don't spam all the forums saying "BLABLALBLABLBALBBLALBKDJ I GOT HACKED BLASLLABLALBLBABLB". The only con this has is what if the scammer knows he/she's email pass? Would be unlikely tho.

The amount of security in Roblox doesn't determine "hackability." It's highly unlikely for your account to get hacked unless you have really weak credentials. If your (or someone you know's) account was stolen, it's probably because they're an idiot and fell to phishing. If you're smart, you won't get hacked.

@gibbothebee I know, but seeing as this is a kids game, and the factor that there was a huge list of over 3k accounts leaked yesterday on the forums, kids fall for phishing really easily, ROBLOX should realize this and add some sort of better security system, accounts are being stolen or signed into by random people every day and ROBLOX hardly does anything to help the user that owns the account. -[ 111, 7 Year Veteran ]-

ROBLOX account security is not the issue, its the moronic users who visit these websites that steal their information and then claim their account was hacked. choo choo

No, kids should recognize phishing tactics. Roblox should not spend thousands of dollars to help unintelligent kids. Stupid kids: get educated.

FIRST: Amazing name snipe SECOND: No support. Unlike Steam, ROBLOX doesn't require you to verify your account by e-mail. This could accidentally lock a lot of users out of their accounts.
