hiding password on admin backend panel

Number 1 reason why I uninstalled.

Im pretty sure you colud write a function that can remove this input field via javascript, based on the role the user has.

$user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( in_array( ‘author’, (array) $user->roles ) ) {
//The user has the “author” role
//and now some magic to remove the field, maybe some js
}

Or you can try it with 2 admin css files. one file for you, the admin, and one file not for admins with this

#smtp_pass{
display:none;
}
