Making a server private

Hello,
How can I make my server private? I have searched the wiki and did not find the correct syntax to only allow "pre created" users to login. Is it possible?

Just don't announce to the serverlist.

server_announce = 0

Then people won't be able to see you.
Private servers on the server list are discouraged.

But I don't want anyone unknown logging on servers. how can I avoid that? Like, only defined users by me allowed to log in.

It would be very rare that they'd find you.
But just in case, set default_password in minetest.conf:
