This page explains why meeting passwords are required on Webex meetings as of 1/10/2020.
Password Requirement for Scheduled Webex Meetings
Cisco released a security update for Webex meetings to enhance security and privacy. This update requires meeting participants to enter a password along with the meeting number when joining a meeting through the UConn Webex login: webex.uconn.edu
Personal Rooms and Video Conference Systems
Use of the "Personal Meeting Room" and video conferences systems is unchanged.
When a Password is Required
When you schedule a meeting, a 10 digit session identifier known as the "Access Code" and/or "Meeting Number" is randomly generated. If a user navigates to uconn-cmr.webex.com and searches for a session using that Meeting Number, they will be prompted to enter the session's password.
When a Password is not Required
If participants are given the direct link, they will not be asked to enter the password. You can access this direct link after scheduling your meeting on the Meeting Information page. Meeting organizers can also send the link to participants by adding their email to the "Attendees" field when scheduling a meeting.
