Duplicating Tenants in FusionAuth: Why SMTP Passwords Aren't Copied
-
Is there a way to duplicate a tenant in FusionAuth and have the SMTP password copied over as well? I’ve noticed that when I duplicate a tenant, sending a test email doesn’t work, and I can’t see or retrieve the SMTP password in either FusionAuth or SendGrid.

You’re correct — when duplicating a tenant, FusionAuth does not copy the SMTP password. This is by design for security reasons. Passwords are stored securely and aren’t exposed in logs, debug output, or the UI, even with debug logging enabled for email.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to automatically carry over the SMTP password when duplicating tenants, and there aren’t plans to change this behavior.
You’ll need to manually re-enter the SMTP password in the duplicated tenant’s configuration.
