# How to Add a Password to Your Hytale Server

Learn how to set a password on your Hytale Server! 

This guide will walk you through the process of securing your Hytale server with a password. Adding a password to your Hytale server, similar to enabling the whitelist is a great way to secure your server from uninvited players. Unlike a whitelist you wont need to keep adding players every time you want a new play to join and can simply provide the password. Since this will likely be a shared password, you will want to ensure it's not a normal password that you use anywhere else.

## Changing the name

1. Open your [Dashboard.](https://app.nodecraft.com/dashboard)
2. Locate your Hytale server and click on the **Panel **button.
3. Once on your panel, **Stop** the server using the button in the upper left corner of the panel before proceeding.
4. Once the server is stopped, click on **Game Settings** on the left-hand sidebar of the panel.

5. O the Game settings page you will see **Server Password.**

6. Enter your new desired server password, then scroll down and click the **Submit** button.

You have now set up a password on your Hytale server. You can change this password any time or remove it to disable the password requirement.

## Conclusion

Your server has now been secured using a password. Remember that if you intend to distribute this password to anyone other than yourself that you use a password that is not shared with any other login that you may have.
