How to Add a Password to Your Satisfactory Server

By default, anyone with your Satisfactory server's IP and port can join. Setting a player password locks that down so only people you've shared it with can get in. This guide covers setting it, removing it, and how your friends use it to connect.

ℹ️ Note
This is separate from your Admin Password. The Admin Password controls who can access the Server Settings tab and manage the server. The player password just controls who can join and play.

Step 1: Set Your Player Password

01
Launch Satisfactory and go to Server Manager on the main menu.
02
Select your server and click the Server Settings tab.
03
Find Player Password Protection and click Change Password.
04
Enter your desired password, then type it again in the confirmation field.
05
Click Confirm, then Apply to save.
💡 Tip
If Confirm won't let you save, the two password fields probably don't match. Clear both and retype the password from scratch rather than trying to fix just one field.

Step 2: How Friends Join a Password-Protected Server

Your friends still need your server's IP address and port to connect, the same as any other server. Once they reach the server, they'll be prompted to enter the password before they're allowed to join as a player.

Removing the Password

To open your server back up to anyone, go back to Server Settings, click Change Password under Player Password Protection, leave both fields blank, and click Confirm, then Apply.

If players say they're not being prompted for a password after you've set one, double-check that you clicked Apply and not just Confirm, and that the server has fully restarted since the change.
