Because the data is transmitted in plain textand passwords are only slightly encrypted, it is not secure; the data can be read or intercepted byother people.HTTPS (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is a secure version of HTTP. HTTPS providesauthentication and encrypted communication to preserve the confidentiality of your data. Insteadof using plain text, HTTPS uses either the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol or the TLS(Transport Layer Security) protocol to encrypt data, thus ensuring reasonable protection fromeavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.
