Server Servers changing difficulty and adding password by themselves?

But this seems to be crashing existing games on passwd protected servers. One of my private groups with their own server was getting kicked off their server that was passwd protected every few waves without any notice. Seemed like a crash for the players.

Maybe this sort of evasive feature should have been disabled by default. With a flash screen msg popped up to remind admins of this new feature? Or at least the ones with existing passwd protection enabled!?

It should ignore servers that have passwords set, in addition to the opt-out config setting. This is a bug we'll be fixing very soon.

Doing this fixed the server changing length and difficulty, but on map change the server still adds a password every time, even when disabled through webadmin.

That's very strange. The reconfiguration and password happen at the same time. Make sure to shutdown the server before you set bUsedForTakeover=FALSE. You may also need to set it under [KFGame.KFGameEngine] if that still doesn't work.
