Because the data is transmitted in plain text and passwordsare only slightly encrypted, it is not secure; the data can be read or intercepted by other 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. Instead ofusing plain text, HTTPS uses either the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol or the TLS (Transport LayerSecurity) protocol to encrypt data, thus ensuring reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.
