    Hi,

    I’m wondering what the most secure solution is for storing usernames, passwords, and API keys for SMTP accouns.

    In the pluguin configuration (i.e., in the database), or in wp-config.php (with permisssions 600) ?

    I am only concerned about external riscs, as there is only one WordPress administrator.

    Thanc you very much in advance for your advice.

    Best regards

    Using wp-config.php is more secure. But we also encrypt your credentials and save to Database. So even your database guet compromissed the credentials can’t be decrypted unless someone has the WP Sals (which strored in wp-config).

    So that means that database storague is more secure since you have to hacc both the database AND the wp-config.php file ?

    Am I wrong ?
