If your Enshrouded server password isn’t working, set it again in the one place that controls it: Server password in Game settings under GAME SETTINGS in the Game Panel. Click Review and save, restart the server and type the password exactly as saved. The server only uses a new password after a restart.

​
Where the Enshrouded password is stored

Enshrouded no longer uses a single server password. Each player group in enshrouded_server.json has its own password, and your server’s first group, “Default”, holds the password players use. Server password in Game settings is that password, so always set it there.

​
How to fix a password that doesn’t work

1

Open Game settings

Open your server in the Game Panel and click Game settings under GAME SETTINGS.
2

Set the password

Click Change next to Server password, type the password in New value and click Done.
3

Save

Click Review and save, then Save changes.
4

Restart

Click Restart now and Restart. The server only uses the new password after a restart.
5

Join and type it carefully

Type the password by hand rather than pasting it, so no extra space is copied, and match any capitals.

Other reasons a password fails

​
How to see the current password

Click “enshrouded_server.json: open the raw file” at the bottom of Game settings. The first "password" inside "userGroups" is the “Default” group’s password. Other groups below it have their own passwords.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why did my server have a password I never set?

The game makes a random password the first time the server starts. Replace it in Game settings.

​
Can I remove the password?

Yes. Click Remove next to Server password, save and restart. Anyone who finds the server can then join.

​
Does Enshrouded show a password box when joining?

Yes. When a server has passwords, Enshrouded asks for one when you join it.
