Confused with security tip

Below the SMTP password window the following this is being displayed:
The password is stored in plain text. We highly recommend you set up your password in your WordPress configuration file for improved security.
To do this add the lines below to your wp-config.php file (…)

Does it mean that I should add the wp-config.php line and leave the password field blank? When I’m doing so I’m getting the authentication error.
And at the same time I’m a bit afraid to put my email password there, as the plugin author himself warns about it being unencrypted.

Can someone advise please?
