How do I fix “Authentication Failed Error Code: 403. An error was encountered during authentication. Please try again.”?
Experienced Issue
Whenever I try playing any Roblox game, the error code 403 authentication failed appears. And no signs of down or outages of Roblox.
Also here’s some of the screenshot!

Solutions that I’ve tried
I’ve looked at some information to fix it on DevForum Roblox, YouTube and Google, and I’ve tried them like resetting DNS, restarting the PC, removing the Roblox File and then reinstalling Roblox. But none of these works.

Error 403 has been ocurring a lot to me as well. If you’re not using a vpn, try waiting some time. Usually waiting a bit helps as well. Error 403 means the server is denying you access.
What I did exactly to fix this is;
- Log out of my account(s) and cleared my cookies
- Uninstall Roblox
- Change my ip through Private Internet Access VPN
- Make a new account and try to join a Roblox game
If you follow exactly those steps I’m 100% sure it’ll work for you as well. If they don’t, you might have a hardware ID ban or some type of other more personal issue.

Can I use another VPN to change my IP? Because PIA (Private Internet Access) is paid.

It appears u are on windows 11.
Go to settings > WiFi > YourNetworkName properties > IP assignment > Manual
Go to CMD and run ipconfig /renew
Im a bit unsure here so its better u research this on ur own

i found the solution, so i got this error a few days ago but i found out if your account is banned and youre still logged in on the roblox application, it does the error, so what you need to do is log out of that account and now youre able to play
