Users are getting asked for a code while using an embedded password link

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @MarciT.

This most often happens when the link that has been sent has been modified in some way (usually inadvertently).  Sometimes I see that the link spans 2 lines in one document, and only the top line is copied/pasted and sent to the attendees.  Sometimes just the introduction of a space or an accidental typo somewhere can mess up the encoded Passcode.

My personal "best practice" is to always send the Meeting ID and Passcode from the invitation on separate lines along with the Join link.

I've never seen a confirmed instance where the complete Join URL was sent intact and the meeting failed to be joined -- except in one instance where someone changed the Passcode after the link was sent out.

Any chance the meeting passcode was changed after the meeting link with embedded passcode was sent?

Our team is having the same problem.  The links are sent out in automated email and text reminders.  There is no copy and paste on our end and we can see what was sent, so we know the entire link is being sent.  The same reminders are going out to the whole group and only a few individuals are being asked for a password.

We're having this issue too. We copy the URL from the meeting in progress (from the and people are still being asked for a passcode. In my emails I copy the URL from the meeting setup. We've re done this process multiple times with the problem recurring. 

If I could upload screenshots I could show you the source from where we're copying the URLs, but since I can't, rest assured I'm copying them directly from the zoom platform.

I’m having the same issue too on Linux, but only on some devices. All use the current official Zoom client.
I use the same meeting link containing the encoded password like everyone else. If I chose “Join from Zoom Workslace app” the client opens and asks for the PIN. If I choose “Join from Browser” instead it works just fine. So I’m pretty confident the link in the EMail is the correct one and has not been altered in transit.
