If you're looking at a link is there a way to tell if it has a password or not? I've had issues in the past where people with the link were unable to join since they didn't know the password.

Yes, it has a ?pwd query string (which appears to be a base 64 encode of the password)

The pwd parameter is always 32 characters long, so I assume it's either a hash or a random nonce, rather than a direct encoding of the password.
