Starting this week, the Account Identity team will be running an experiment in which users can verify their phone number in a Voice Chat experience instead of having to leave the experience to verify their phone number in settings.
If your Voice Chat experience currently has UX that guides users to settings to verify their phone number or removes the user from the experience for not having a verified phone number, then we recommend that you disable this UX for the duration of the experiment.
The experiment is expected to run for 2-3 weeks. We will update this announcement once the experiment is live and again when it ends.
Will the user need to leave the game tab to get the verification code and complete the process?
Because if this were to happen, Android users wouldnât be able to verify their phones within the experience, since to this day they are disconnected when they leave the game tab for a few seconds.
I second this; itâs a pretty serious concern if a bad developer were to âkey logâ your input as you type out/enter your phone number. Will there be a separate UI that doesnât track input for this?
I feel like some games will use it as a form of phishing or key logger especially for younger kids (which technically arenât supposed to have voice chat but thatâs an other problem)
Roblox themselves asked to never share our personal/account info, so this new experiment surprises meâŠ
Some games have it but it isnât the main thing, im talking about if a game makes you⊠because in the OP it was said something about kicking players with out it.
This might be very risky. People with bad intentions might acquire private phone numbers. I think leaving stuff like that for the settings menu in the Roblox app is the best option, since thatâs the most private place they can enter it through.
