The WP Mail SMTP team takes security very seriously. Not only does the plugin follow all security best practices, but we have several options available to ensure your site is safe and secure. Direct SMTP mailer integrations (recommended), such as SendLayer, SMTP.com, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, SparkPost and SMTP2GO, use the official provider APIs. This means you never enter your username or password in the plugin settings and these credentials are not stored in the database. Instead, we use tokens or API keys which are much more secure.
If you've stumbled upon a bug, the best place to report it is in the WP Mail SMTP GitHub repository. GitHub is where the plugin is actively developed, and posting there will get your issue quickly seen by our developers (myself and Slava). Once posted, we'll review your bug report and triage the bug. When creating an issue, the more details you can add to your report, the faster the bug can be solved.
Short answer: maybe. By all means please contact us to discuss features or options you'd like to see added to the plugin. We can't guarantee to add all of them, but we will consider all sensible requests. We can be contacted here: https://wpmailsmtp.com/contact/.
