zoom keeps asking a password meeting although everyone got the link

[zoom]

I created zoom meeting. There is a security saction where you have to choose al least 1 of 3 options and the default one (that I always choose) is "anyone with the meeting password or the link can join the meeting".

However sometimes it asks the attendees the put the password in order to join and I don't understand why. I tought maybe it becasue I myself didn't join the meeting yet but that should not be the problem since I made a colleague a host as well when I created the meeting and yet Zoom required a password of him as well.

Does that mean the creator of the meeting always need to attend even when other users are the hosts?
