>As you admitted, passwords get logged "all the time." So the reasonable solution in most cases would be to ensure all applicable logs were clean and not logging passwords, not over-engineer a JavaScript-powered client-side-hashing algorithm. That's like taking a sledgehammer to a nail.
Maybe, but as a client I can't verify that this happens. So never sending the cleartext password is the only solution.
