title: Ajax Login: Password Encryption
body: <p>I am using jQuery Ajax to login a user.  Right now, I use JS to grab the values from the username and password textboxes and send them to a aspx page which checks the credentials.  It then returns JSON letting the user know if they are logged in or not.  Everything works well, but I noticed while using Firebug that the password was being sent in plain text.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to <strong>encrypt</strong> the password?  (BTW, I am not on a HTTPS server)</p>
