ROBLOX Adds Quick Login Feature

ROBLOX has added a new feature where you can “easily log in” to your ROBLOX account via a different device. What makes this update interesting? Potentially how useless it is. I mean let’s be real here, this truly isn’t a feature for faster login.

With this new feature, you are able to use the “Quick Login” feature which gives you a code for your account. You then go to the device that you are logged in on. From there; you click on the “gear” button where you then click on “Quick Login.”

Once there, you will be able to paste the “quick login” code that you had received in order to verify your login.

Try doing this via a device using a different location, and apparently this prompt appears:

With the above image, I suppose this is a neat set of security. Not allowing people to use a code that a friend has given them in a possible, yet terrible attempt to steal their account.

However – it literally says “Only enter codes that *YOU* requested.” So why would this feature even be necessary? Let alone the whole Quick Log In feature in general, and we’re gonna get to that part right now.

This whole feature just doesn’t make much sense to me. I tried looking for a DevForum post with ROBLOX announcing this new update and couldn’t find anything resourceful. So maybe it’s the lack of information as it’s possible that it serves more purpose then it seems like.

But here’s my whole catch here. Why would you need to do the whole Quick Login process which could essentially take longer then simply typing in your username + password? Using your username + password could literally take seconds – when the quick login feature, as seen via video; can take up to 30 seconds. All depending on how ready you have your “devices.”

So to sum things up here, I’m disappointed writing this article in general. I feel as if this update is a bit over-hyped by the community. It doesn’t serve any real useful purpose, besides I suppose a longer process to log in? Which makes the name of it quite ironic.

ROBLOX announces Display Name update

With the ROBLOX Developer Crowns update in release, along with the Group Payout restrictions update released – comes ROBLOX announcing another update in the works.

“When can we expect this update?”

ROBLOX has announced that they will be rolling this new feature out slowly over the next few months. It is unknown how exactly they intend on rolling this feature out “slowly,” especially in terms of how much of the update they will release at once. It will certainly be interesting to see how they introduce this new – and quite game-changing update over the next few months.

Analyzing the update (Pro’s/Con’s)

As seen in the screenshot, instead of having a display name as your username which would show all the numbers – you can easily shorten it up utilizing the display name update. There may be one flaw with this though, as ROBLOX stated:

“Display Names are not unique. With the introduction of this feature, your Display Name is what will appear in places such as chat, player lists, or over your in-game character’s head.”

With that being said; impersonation becomes a bit of a worry. Especially if they plan to have display names be your identity via the player list, chat, and over your in-game character’s head. How is it then, that we will be able to identify who is actually who? Along with this, what if two user’s have the same exact display name? Wouldn’t that become a bit confusing.

I nearly love almost all of the updates ROBLOX has been rolling out here, but to be honest – this update seems useless, and more of a problem then anything. It’s definitely amazing for players to have the option of “changing their name” in-game for free. However it just feels as if this stirs up more issues, than solves. Their only reason behind this update thus far being:

” Gone are the days of being CoolRobloxFan43732 – now, you can simply be CoolRobloxFan! ”

That’s awesome, cool, right? But, why not just create a username that doesn’t have all of those numbers in the first place? ROBLOX has millions and millions of players actively playing on their platform, so of course usernames are limited when it comes to uniqueness. Yet there is still so many combinations to create when it comes to having no numbers or weird characters in them.

Conclusion,

I personally find this update useless, and more of a problem then anything else. As a writer, I am trying my best to see the benefits of this update – which I see, but I also see another solution for. I predict that issues with impersonation and users having the same display name in-game will arise from this. Maybe you think differently? Let us know in our Discord Server!
