Error while decrypting string: Tag mismatch!

2
Hi, when installing the latest encryption app store module, the error tag mismatch is shown in console. This happens after calling the EmailTemplate.SE_SendQueuedEmails microflow for sending mails. After debugging I found out that you need to re-enter the password for your email server configuration. Does this mean that you need to re-enter all encrypted strings as part of the upgrade, or is this unwanted behavior and considered a bug? Regards, Wilfried Edit: In order to close the Padding oracle attack vulnerability the CBC mode of the AES encryption standard was switched to GCM mode in the latest Encryption Module. Because of the algorithm change the previously encrypted passwords can not be read by the module and therefore they need to be entered again and then hashed by the new algorithm. So it is expected behavior that you had to enter the password again.
