    Hi!

    I have the same issue stated here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-password-in-wp-config-blocks-sending/

    I am configuring the emails, and with the password on the field it works, and when I add it to the wp-config.php file it doesn’t work. I am trying with the plugin Test email.

    Here are the info details (I edited the domain) when I try to send the test email with the wp-config option:

    Versions:
    WordPress: 5.4
    WordPress MS: No
    PHP: 7.3.17
    WP Mail SMTP: 1.9.0

    Params:
    Mailer: smtp
    Constants: Yes
    ErrorInfo: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

    Hi,

    I’ve tested setting the SMTP password via constants, by adding this to my wp-config.php file: 

    
define( 'WPMS_ON', true );
define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' );

    changing the your_password to my actual SMTP password (keeping the single quotes around my SMTP password). And the email was still sent just OK. I’ve tested with two different SMTP accounts and they both worked as expected.

    In order to debug this on our end could you please let me know which constants you added to your wp-config.php file (just the constant names, not the actual values).

    Thank you!

    Ok, Now I could take a look at this. Sorry for taking so much time.

    I think I found the problem. I had made it as told on the info and the previous message, but now when I came back and took a look noticed my password had a bracket ( on it. I changed it with symbols but no brackets and now it works just fine.
