As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to validate a Roblox user’s identity outside of the official Roblox website. I have wanted to make front end web tools to interact with games and make tools for making certain processes easier (mainly sharing outfits and mass uploading spritesheets) but while viable for personal use, it’s a little hard to get someone to enter their password on some sketchy site that they haven’t heard of to authenticate as the user (for good reason). Adding some OAuth feature such as used by GitHub, Twitter, Discord, Google, Facebook, etc. could solve this problem by adding a simple way to authenticate the user without giving the site any unwanted control over a user’s account.
