Monica Khoury e143c94e5f fix(studio): clarify SMTP password field UX when a password is already saved (#50794)
## What
The custom SMTP password field showed a "Reveal" and "Copy" button next
to text saying "this password cannot be viewed once saved" —
contradictory, since those buttons implied there was something to reveal
or copy. In reality the backend never returns the saved password, so the
field was always blank and those buttons acted on an empty string.

## Why
Reported in FE-3765: users found it confusing whether saving other
fields would blank out their password, and the Reveal/Copy buttons
appeared broken.

## Fix
- Removed the non-functional Reveal/Copy buttons from the password
input.
- When a password is already saved, the field now shows a
`••••••••••••••••` placeholder and copy reading "Stored password is
hidden. Enter a new password to replace it." — matching the existing
`STORED_SECRET_PLACEHOLDER` pattern already used in the Replication
destination forms (BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake, etc).
- No behavior change: leaving the field blank on save still preserves
the existing password (unchanged logic).

## Testing
- Manually verified in the running app.
- Added a component test (`SmtpForm.test.tsx`) covering both the
"password already saved" and "fresh setup" states.
- `tsc --noEmit`, `eslint`, and `prettier --check` all pass with no new
errors/warnings.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Updates**
* Configured SMTP passwords are masked, with a notice that entering a
new password will replace the stored one.
* For new SMTP setups, the password field prompts for the SMTP server
password and does not show the stored-password notice.
* The SMTP password field no longer provides controls to reveal or copy
the password.

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
