Can no longer disable meetings must have a password?

[Karl Reischl]

Hi.

I noticed that All meetings must have a password was checked again and it is now greyed out.  I swear we disabled this before but we didn't document if we did it or not.  We do not want passwords for meetings (vs. events and training).  How do I disable this at the site level?

Passwords are now mandatory as of 39.10

Mandatory Password Enforcement
The most effective step to strengthen the security of your meetings is to create a strong password. Passwords protect against unauthorized attendance, so only users with access to the password can join the meeting.

Starting from Jan. 10, 2020, all latest Webex sites are going to be configured to automatically add passwords for any new meetings, events, or training sessions. Lockdown sites aren't affected.

Wow - I religiously read the release notes, or so I thought.  Thanks for the information.
