    Plugin can’t authenticate smtp when password contain special characters like <>&…
    It’s escape it to < > and other.
    So I needed to change passwordto make plugin work.
    Think you should fix this bug.

    Thanks for your work!

    Hi, It’s just < >. The password is encrypted before saving into the database for security. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change the encryption method now because it needs to be decrypted again to the actual password when the plugin authenticates with your SMTP provider (making the plugin broken for the existing users).
