Seconded! Would be great if the characters in password field were obscured
yes please add this feature.
E.g. in case autofill is active in the browser the password will be stored visible for everyone, which is a huge security risk. Please store the password encrypted in the database.
PLEASE do this! Major security oversight.
I installed Postman instead. Works perfect.
How does this plugin store password in database ?
is it storing as a text string or some secured way like MD5 ?
You can set a constant in your wp-config file if you do not want the password stored in the DB like this:
define('WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password_goes_here'); // SMTP authentication password, only used if WPMS_SMTP_AUTH is true
