Requiring a passcode for phone participants in zoom app

Account owners and admins have the option of requiring a passcode for participants wishing to attend their meetings via phone if they want to require one. Listed below the dial-in numbers and the meeting ID is the passcode which can be found in the invitation email. There will be a numeric version of the passcode generated for meetings that have an alphanumeric passcode. Only those participants who have been invited to the meeting are allowed access to the meeting, so confidentiality is guaranteed. Participants who join by phone will be required to enter a passcode if this setting is enabled, if the meeting requires a passcode to be entered by phone participants.

By disabling this setting, users will not need to enter a password in order to join via phone.
