QR Code Login Scam (Quishing)
KWISH-ing
Definition
A 2026 twist on account theft. A scammer shows a QR code — often in a Discord server claiming you must 'scan to verify' or 'log in to claim a prize' — and tells the child to scan it with the Roblox app. Scanning it actually approves the *scammer's* login on the child's account, handing over access with no password needed.
Example Usage
“A 'mod' told me to scan a QR code to verify my account.”
Note for Parents
One simple rule kills this: never scan a QR code to 'verify', 'log in', or 'claim' anything that someone else gives you. A real Roblox login QR code is something YOU generate to log yourself in on another device — never something a stranger provides. See Discord, Phishing, and Cookie Logger.
