Cannot set SMTP password in E-Mail Server settings

ℹ️ Support
1

If I set up the SMTP configuration in the base settings, the password is not stored. All other settings can be found in the config.php, the password is not updated. So the email test fails. When I edit the config.php and set the mail_smtppassword variable there, it is working. Is this a bug that should be reported?
