An HC (using normal game exe) cannot connect to a passworded server (using the dedicated server exe) that is on the same machine and the HC gives the following error in it's console:
Cannot join the session. Wrong password was given.
This is tried with or without custom profiles specified.
The config files are not empty, however they have not changed from 0.58
Steam is online and the HC's have access to it
Set a password in the config file for the dedicated server (running the dedicated server exe) and start it. Then connect the HC to it by using the -password= switch, specifying that password.
The error will be seen immediately after the HC starts and tries to connect to the server.
This error first occurred in 0.54 or 0.52 and was fixed in 0.56 (though HCs only started working correctly in 0.58 due to the steam dedicated server environment)
Yes confirm - HC is still NOT working when a server (join) password is set

This thread claims to have a solution:

However, even when not using BattlEye, this is still an issue. Turning on BattlEye and making the suggested changes does not resolve it.
Confirm iissue still exists, You cannot join a password protected server (battleye does not seem related)

I'm no long seeing the issue appearing in the console output (I've disabled BE):
<time> Cannot join the session. Wrong password was given.
My HC however never seem to be able to keep a connection to the server.
This is probably now a different issue, and hopefully one that is just configuration issues if everyone is able to connect ok)
