clear text password in login control in ASP.Net 2.0

[anoop]

Hello,
I am using Login control in ASP.Net 2.0. I have also done settings
for Membership class in Web.Config file. Now I want to know that how can I
hash the password travelling from the Client Side to the Server Side. Do I
have to call server Side Functions from the Client Side. please help

Thank you

Encrypting the password on the client is difficult, and since the code
is visible for the user very easily, it's not considered very secure.
The usual approach in order to transmit encrypted username and password
is to use SSL (the https:// protocol).

I suggest you to research that subject and to ask your provider how to
enable SLL on your website.

Laurent
