🔒 Passing sensitive data which the original password is required for backend SMTPLib

[lucid gazelle]

Hi guys, I'm trying to build an automation system where the users from the frontend will need to key in and pass email and password to the backend python system for automating email.

So the email sender will be sent based on the email. The email providers that i am using only support normal email and password for authentication.

From what i understand passing sensitive data like password between frontend to backend is not recommended and i can't hash it since the backend required the original password. Is there really a way to pass between it?

Appreciate the help

and its your front end and backend talking with whichever email service?

My backend is talking with the email services. The frontend is just getting the password and email from the users
