How To Set a Password On Your Eco Server

Setting a password on your Eco server restricts access to players who know the password. This is useful for private servers or whitelist-style setups.

Setting a Password

Open the Network Config

Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Eco server.
Click Files in the sidebar.
Navigate to the Configs folder and open Network.eco.

Set the Password Field

Find the Password field and enter your desired password:

"Password": "yourpassword"

Leave it empty ("") to remove the password.

Save and Restart

Save the file and restart your server. Players will now be prompted to enter the password when joining.

Using Whitelist with Password

If you want whitelisted players to bypass the password, you must have a password set — the whitelist only ignores the password requirement for listed players, it does not restrict access on its own.

To add players to the whitelist, open Users.eco and add their Steam64 or SLG IDs to the Whitelist array:

"Whitelist": [
  "76561198012345678"
]

💡 Tip: Whitelisted players can still join even if they do not know the password, making it easy to allow trusted players while keeping the server semi-private.
