      Atlassian Update - 8 February 2024

      Hi everyone,

      This is Kathleen from the Confluence team. Thank you for your interest in this suggestion. We understand that this functionality is important to many of you. 

      We are considering this feature for the Confluence roadmap and hope to start development when our current projects are completed.

      To learn more about our recent investments in Confluence Data Center, please check our public roadmap and our dashboards containing recently resolved issues, and current work and future plans.

      Kind regards,
      Confluence Data Center

      Passwords for configured mail accounts are stored in clear text in the database as can be seen e.g. by:

      SELECT * FROM BANDANA WHERE BANDANAKEY = 'atlassian.confluence.space.mailaccounts';
      

      Even when being an admin I should NOT be able to read-out other users email account password!

      This problem exists for Confluence AND Jira as well.
