| Aug 12, 2014 at 18:39 | comment | added | D.W. | @steshaw, the question is comparing client-side encryption to server-side encryption (not client-side encryption to nothing). So, the alternative is not sending the password in plaintext; the alternative is sending it over HTTPS. As my answer says, client-side encryption probably does not add enough over HTTPS to be worthwhile, for most web sites. | |
