Password Encryption on POST Django

Question

other than using SSL, is there a way to encrypt the password in the Django structure at the first POST on the server? For example, if I have a form that accepts a username and password, and then send it to another view, are the passwords sent to the backend unencrypted? If so, is there a way to encrypt passwords before sending them to the server?

Answer 1

SSL is a de facto solution, but if for some reason you cannot get it, you will find refuge in some javascript libraries that encrypt post data. And there are a lot of them if you are looking for .. But I do not think that any of them can achieve maximum security.
