Zoom Password Not Working (9 Fixes)

This blog post will discuss nine possible fixes for the issue. We hope one of these solutions helps you get back up and running quickly!

Zoom Meeting Password Not Working

Zoom meetings are typically password-protected to keep unwanted attendees from joining. The host can set a password when scheduling the meeting and share it with the attendees. If you’re trying to enter a Zoom meeting and the password isn’t working, there are a few things you can try:

1. Make Sure the Password is Correct

The first thing you should do when your Zoom password isn’t working is to make sure that you’re entering the correct password. It might seem obvious, but sometimes we can mistype a password or copy it incorrectly. So double-check the password to make sure it’s correct.

You can also reach out to the meeting host and ask for confirmation.

2. Type The Password Instead of Copying

Zoom passwords are space-sensitive. That means copying and pasting the password from the meeting invite might include unwanted space, leading to the incorrect password error. So, consider typing the password instead of copying it.

3. Clear Zoom App Data and Cache (for Mobile)

If you’re trying to join a meeting on your mobile device and the password isn’t working, one thing you can try is clearing the Zoom app data and cache. This will reset the app and clear any stored data that could be causing the issue.

If you are using Android, long-tap on the app icon and then select “App Info.”

Then click “Storage Usage.”

Now you will find the option to clear the App Data and Cache.

Note the option can be a little different on some devices.

Open the Settings app if you are using an iPhone, then scroll down and tap on “Storage.” Next, select “Internal Storage” under “Device Storage.” Then, press on “Cached Data” and press “Ok” to confirm the action. This will remove the cached data of all apps.

4. Try Joining from Another Device

If you’re trying to join a meeting on your computer but the password isn’t working, one thing you can try is joining from another device. For example, if you’re trying to join on your laptop, try calling in from your phone.

This can be helpful because it can rule out whether the issue is with your device or with Zoom itself. If you can join the meeting on another device, the problem is likely with your first device.

5. Try Joining from the Link

While sharing the Zoom meeting, the host can both share a link or the password and meeting link for the participants. So if you’re trying to join a meeting and the password isn’t working, one thing you can try is entering from the link instead of using the credentials.

Zoom Account Password Not Working

If you’re trying to log in to your Zoom account and the password isn’t working, there are a few things you can try:

6. Enter Correct Username and Password

When you are trying to log in to your Zoom account and encounter the incorrect password error, the chances are high that you are trying to log in with the wrong credentials.

Make sure you’re entering the correct username and password. If you can’t remember your password, you can reset it.

7. Reset the Password

If you can’t remember your password, you can reset it by going to Zoom’s login page from a browser and clicking “Forgot Password.” You’ll need to enter the email address associated with your account and follow the instructions in the email that Zoom sends you.

8. Try to Login from Another Browser

Sometimes, your browser can cause login problems because of interfering data and extensions. If you’re trying to log in to your Zoom account and having trouble, try using a different browser. This might help you to solve the problem.

9. Contact Zoom Support

If you’ve tried all of the above and still can’t log in to your account, the next best thing to do is contact Zoom support. They should be able to help you troubleshoot the problem and get you logged in.
