Setting a server password on your ARK Server requires users to enter the password before they can join the server. By default, all users can join without a password.

You can set a server password with the following steps:

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Config.

Once your server restarts, all users will be required to enter the password you set before they can join the server.
