Roblox is a fantastic platform for creativity and play, but as a parent, safety is your top priority. Setting up an account correctly is the first step to ensuring a fun and secure experience for your child.
1. Choose a Safe Username & Password
Never use your child's real name as their username. Pick something creative that doesn't reveal their identity. Also, create a strong, unique password that is hard to guess.
2. Use the Correct Date of Birth
When signing up, ensure you enter your child's actual date of birth. Roblox has built-in safety features that automatically adjust based on age. Accounts for users under 13 have stricter chat filters and privacy settings enabled by default.
3. Turn on Parental Controls
Once the account is created, go to Settings > Parental Controls. Here you can restrict access to age-appropriate experiences (e.g., All Ages or 9+).
4. Verify Your Email Address
Always add and verify a parent's email address in the account info. This ensures you can recover the account if the password is lost.
5. Enable 2-Step Verification
For extra security, enable 2-Step Verification. This requires a code from your email or authentication app whenever someone logs in from a new device, keeping bad actors out.
By following these steps, you build a safe foundation for your child to explore games like Ronald's Restaurant and Wayfresh Shopping with peace of mind!
