Roblox Corporation's terms state that accounts are forfeited when the account holder dies. Lifetime planning is the only path to extracting value from the account before that happens.
How to protect your Roblox accounts
8 lifetime planning steps for your Roblox accounts:
Family sharing
Roblox accounts themselves are non-transferable and there is no family library sharing: the Terms prohibit selling or buying an account or its credentials, and Roblox states that a Premium membership cannot be transferred to another account. What Roblox does now offer, and did not when this record was first written, are three narrower in-life movement paths. First, Robux can be sent between users: a Roblox Plus subscriber can send Robux to another user without platform fees, recipients do not need a subscription, and Roblox states that all parties must be age-verified and 18 or over to send or receive, with a parent or caregiver approving transfers for users under 18. Published transfer limits are up to 500 Robux a day and 1,000 Robux a month, rising to 5,000 a day and 10,000 a month for users with 2-Step Verification enabled and in good standing. Roblox states that "all transfers are final and cannot be reversed" and that "all transfers received are not eligible for the DevEx program." Second, Limited and Limited U collectibles can be traded or resold: both sides of a trade need an active Roblox Plus subscription and inventory visibility turned on, and trading is not available to users in South Korea. Third, a Community (group) owner can hand ownership to another member through Configure Community, and Roblox notes that "ownership transfers cannot be undone" and that an owner who leaves without transferring leaves the community "owned by no one." Separately, a parent or guardian who is age checked as 18 or older can link to a child's account to hold parent privileges, but that is oversight of the child's account, not shared ownership of anything in it.
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Deal with the parts that cannot survive you. If you own a Community, transfer ownership now through Configure Community, because Roblox states the transfer cannot be undone and that a community left by its owner ends up owned by no one. If you create experiences, move anything important using the documented experience-ownership-transfer flow and tell a co-developer or your executor what exists. If you are DevEx-eligible, cash out Earned Robux on a regular cadence, since the process requires you personally and there is no published estate exception. Keep the Robux balance low, since purchased and stipend Robux can never become cash. Write down your Limited inventory and who should have it. And leave your executor identifying information, not your password: the username, the registered email and phone number, which subscription you hold, and any Community you own.
An inventory listing the Roblox account lets a fiduciary identify it and act on it through the operator's official channels.
Roblox does not offer beneficiary designations, so there is no program-level mechanism for directing accounts to a specific person at death.
