Variable - %user_password% displaying astrisks

Hi there HivePress team.

In the Registration Complete email there is a variable %user_password%
However when sending the email to a registered user the password is displaying as asterisks in the email body.
I’m sure this isn’t normal so any idea what could be causing and how to possibly fix the issue?

Yes, we had to deprecate it because of security issues, please consider removing it because storing passwords in plain text is always a bad idea (e.g. it may be saved in some email logs). It still works for the registration email if email verification is disabled.

Thanks Ihor.
We’ll remove the login credential fields from the email.
