This is the screen to setup the email, I'll add more providers as time goes on. The SMTP server and Port field disappear if you select Outlook or Gmail.
The password is encoded in the database but obviously can easily be decoded, just did that so it's not plainly visible in the database. The password is only sent to the backend, it never loads on front end. Speaking of passwords the main login password is hashed so it's very secure. Can't hash this password as there's no such thing as unhashing, it's one way.
You can see the Admin email and 3 recipients, the admin will be used to reset the main login password if forgotten and other things down the road, that'll come after first beta. And of course the recipients are where alerts can go, I just realized I forgot to add the enabled/disable for each recipient field. Later I'm thinking it might be nice to select which recipient the alert goes to, for example ATO alerts could go to one email and Temp sensors to another.
