Counter Strike 2 servers use multiple methods to secure them against unauthorized users. Adding a password is a quick way to share a server among a wider group of friends or a community while maintaining exclusivity. While not as secure as whitelisting a server, passwords are significantly more hands-off and hassle-free, easing the pressure on server admins typically present with a server whitelist.
Note: To connect to a server protected by a password, the developer console must be used. Learn how to here.
