 * Hey,
 * if you use SendGrid as an E-Mail Provider, the API Key is leaked in the input
   field if you inspect the site.
 * So if an attacker has access to a WordPress Admin Account, he can access the 
   API Key and potentially send E-mails from your Domain via SMTP Relay.

 * Hi, [@mgrebin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgrebin/)!
 * Thanks for getting in touch and providing the feedback.
 * Please note that this behavior will be changed in the next release, so there 
   will be no possibility of getting these details when you inspect the website.
 * Kind regards.
