Starbound has no single server password. Instead, your Starbound server can turn away players who don't log in with an account you create. Each account has a name and a password, and players enter both when they join.

Making Your Server Private

1
Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Files.
3
Open the storage folder and open starbound_server.config.
4
Find the allowAnonymousConnections line and change true to false.
5
Find the serverUsers line and add an account inside its { }, as shown below.
6
Save the file and start your server.

"allowAnonymousConnections" : false,

"serverUsers" : {
  "friends" : {
    "admin" : false,
    "password" : "YourPasswordHere"
  }
},

Give your players the account name (friends here) and the password. When they connect, they enter them in Account and Password.

To add more accounts, put a comma after an account's closing } and add the next one:

"serverUsers" : {
  "friends" : {
    "admin" : false,
    "password" : "YourPasswordHere"
  },
  "alex" : {
    "admin" : false,
    "password" : "AnotherPassword"
  }
},

Note

Keep the quotes, braces and commas as shown. If the file has a mistake, your server won't start and the console shows the line to fix. To open your server to everyone again, set allowAnonymousConnections back to true.
