Passwords should not contain any easily identifiable information, such as their Roblox name, their birthday, or other easily known information.A lot of these tips are not exclusive to Roblox, and may be useful on other websites regarding the user's cybersecurity: A strong password is one of the best methods of preventing the user's account from being breached, and the following are guidelines for creating strong passwords, as well as methods to keep their password and account safe.

A common approach is to try guesses repeatedly for the password and check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password, which is known as brute-forcing. Password guessing (also abbreviated PG-ing, and/or variants thereof) is a form of security hacking involving the process of stealing passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system.
