Solution

  • This is a non-issue.

    (I'm assuming of course you are using https)

    Yes, you submit the username and password as clear text, but it is transmitted over an encrypted connection.

    That's how the internet works.

    Don't believe me? Go to your bank's website, Amazon, ... and monitor the traffic in the browser dev tools.

    You will see exactly the same behaviour.
