How to add a password to a Don't Starve Together server


Summary 
Don't Starve Together servers are a fantastic way to experience large group playthroughs with friends or a select player base. On public servers, specific game mechanics, such as Ghosts, can cause headaches for players, especially when multiple characters are in the same area. Users can make their servers private by adding a server password, requiring players to enter before joining the server. This creates a server much more secure from random players, ensuring that group playthroughs go unhindered.

Note Setting a token password when generating a Server Token does not add a password to the server.
