“Passwords are hashed (one-way encryption)”

Technically,

Passwords are hashed on the server side. They are not encrypted before being sent.

Passwords are hashed on the server side. They are not encrypted before being sent.

Any secure site uses https:// (extension of the HTTP communications protocol to support TLS encryption), so the entire transmission is encrypted.

You should never enter anything sensitive on any site that doesn't use it.
