As noted, use of the <password/> child of the <conference/> element is deprecated and discouraged, since the password could be discovered by a third party, e.g. an eavedropper (if channel encryption is not used) or a server administrator.

Use of the <password/> child of the <conference/> element is NOT RECOMMENDED, since the password could be discovered by a third party, e.g. an eavesdropper (if channel encryption is not used) or a server administrator. However, the element MAY be used in suitably secure environments (e.g., where it is known that communications will not be sent over unencrypted channels and the server administrators are trusted). Clients SHOULD NOT default to storing passwords and MUST enable users to disable any password storage.
