**Description**  
Using the Zoom Webhooks, the recording.complete event payload used to include a `password` field which contained the passcode for recordings that had that setting enabled. Requests I’ve received since 10/19/2020 have not included that field.

Is this an intended change to the API? If so, what is the preferred way to give my users access to meeting recordings that have passcode protection enabled?

Hey @adam.sheaffer,

That seems odd. Can you please share these details and the full webhook JSON you are getting to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) so we can investigate this?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Thanks for the reply @tommy

Happy to send this tomorrow morning. In the meantime, you’ll notice that the JSON schema in the webhook documentation also does not include a `password` field now

Hi @mcordero,

I’ve raised this with our team and we’re looking into this. (ZOOM-209532) I will update this thread once I have confirmation on the expected behavior here.

Thanks,  
Will

@mcordero @adam.sheaffer,

Our team has identified a bug that’s preventing the passcode from appearing in the payload as expected, and they’re actively working on a fix. This should be addressed shortly, and I’ll follow up here once this is fully resolved. (ZOOM-209532).

Thanks,  
Will

A fix has been released for this, and you should now see the passcode reflected in the webhook payload as expected. Let us know if you see any issues.
