Impossible to clear the password

Having previously set a password under SMTP Authentication, there appears to be no way to clear the password.

Even if I uninstall the module and re-install it, it appears the stored password is still there.

At minimum, the password should be cleared when the module is uninstalled.

  • After uninstalling module the password is cleared from the smtp.settings configuration and we need to set the password again.

    After uninstalling and re-installing the module, I continue to see the password filled in. See attached screenshot. However, I suspect this might just be something my browser is doing.

    Does feel like a browser saved password perhaps, ive just tried the following:

    Drupal 10.2.4
    SMTP 8.x-1.2

    1. Enable SMTP
    2. Check the smtp.settings config
    3. Empty strings as expected
    4. Go to admin/config/system/smtp
    5. Add a bunch of the settings, including password
    6. Save
    7. Export smtp.settings
    8. Configured values show as expected
    9. Uninstall smtp
    10. smtp.settings config no longer exists
    11. Re-enable smtp
    12. Export smtp.settings

    Result:

    _core:
      default_config_hash: (random hash)
