Allow us to sign into the Xbox app with the "Authenticator" 2FA option enabled

As someone who makes money through working on Roblox experiences it is incredibly appalling that I need to risk my account safety for 3-5 minutes just to sign up on the Xbox app.

Why do I need to sign up there? I want to make sure that the games I work on and are planned to support the console experience are working as smoothly as possible and give feedback to the developers through the console perspective.

While I know that the authentication method is still being developed, it is incredibly embarrassing that Xbox doesn’t support it out of the box this many months since 2FAs release. Why do I need to risk my account security just so I could log onto an application that doesn’t make it easy to log into to begin with? While I can just make an alternative account just for xbox testing, it is incredibly inconvenient and weird to keep track of a work account that is linked to my personal xbox account.

If Roblox were to address this issue, this would allow me to safely log onto the xbox app without needing to compromise the safety of my account.

Hi Koiske!
Thanks for the thoughtful feature request. We want to make sure everyone’s accounts as safe as possible.

We recently release Cross Device Login (https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056582012-Quick-Login) and added support for this on Xbox. You should be able to login on your Xbox with a 2FA protected account using this method. It is also quick and easy to login even if you have a complex password.

Please let us know if this solves your use case or if there are any outstanding issues when developing on Xbox.
