Email Plugin and SMTP Info (password - saving in plaintext?)

Archive

Greetings! I’m using the email plugin with gmail, and was thinking about something before I deployed it. I noticed that the SMTP password ends up being saved in plaintext on the email.yaml file. Is there somewhere this can be secured, or is that not a problem in actuality? Is it a matter of securing access to the server to avoid that being an issue?
