How To Set a Password on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

If you are making a private server for a specific group of friends, you might also want to adjust your player slots. You can learn how to do this by reading our guide on How to Change the Maximum Player Count on Your Space Engineers Server.

1. Generate Your Password Hash and Salt

Space Engineers does not use plain text passwords in its configuration files. Instead, it requires an encrypted Hash and Salt. To get these, use SEPG to generate both hash and salt.

Type your desired password into the ‘Password To Hash’ box and select the ‘Generate Hashes’ button. The tool will provide you with a ‘Salt Hash’ and a ‘Password Hash’. Keep both of these generated codes copied and ready.

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

4. Select the ‘config’ Folder

5. Select the ‘SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg‘ File

6. Add the Password Tags

Scroll down the file until you locate the <ServerPasswordSalt> setting. Even if your file only has the salt line and is missing the hash line, the server requires both to function properly.

Delete the existing <ServerPasswordSalt> line entirely. Replace it by typing out both of your new tags using the codes you generated in the first step. Place them on two separate lines so it looks exactly like this:

<ServerPasswordHash>YourGeneratedPasswordHashHere</ServerPasswordHash>

<ServerPasswordSalt>YourGeneratedSaltHashHere</ServerPasswordSalt>

Make sure you paste your specific generated codes between the tags with no extra spaces.
