When sending emails with python via SMTP_SSL() are the credentials and the email sent over the encrypted SSL session? I’m trying to learn python and I don’t want to send credentials in an insecure manner.

Example,

s= smtplib.SMTP_SSL(‘server’,465, context=)
s.login(username,pwd)
s.sendmail(From, To, message)
s.quit

Yes, that is correct. That's the whole point of SSL/TLS. Note that STARTTLS is more commonly supported. – President James K. Polk Jan 28 '22 at 19:04
