I am experimenting with the email function to send invoices. I connected it to my Google Workspace account. Fibery uses the (not-so-secure) app passwords for this. Where and how does Fibery store this password? This is important for me to know, because I the password gives access to my complete Google workspace and there is no way for me to limit this, which makes it a big vulnerability. ---

Hi! We are storing passwords in our database encrypted with a secret key. ---

@Minh_Tri_Do_Hang this is about the Google workspace integration for email. If you want Fibery to send emails using your Google workspace, you have to [connect an email account](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Send-Email-action-105). From @Polina_Zenevich 's answer, I understand that Fibery stores my email password encrypted in a database and that they use a private key for encryption that is only available to Fibery. ---
