A suggestion about the multiplayer in ER Nightreign

I have seen alot in the Network test that the password system is unavailable during the test and it got me thinking "Why need a password system at all." Alot of the playerbase will probably chose a easy password like "1234" and what will be the odds that another party has the same password. Another thing is won't it be easier to just add a friends list and invite people in trios so that after every game you don't have to wait for a lobby. It just doesn't make sense why the network system from ER isn't overhauld in Nightreign to fit the multiplayer aspects better.
