Password Cleartext

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I had a look and
couldn't find it.

Is it normal that in the registration/login/changepassword process,
the password is transmitted in clear text(POST Variable)?

My main worry, is that any scriptkiddy can fire up a sniffing program
and capture the password.
For the moment I've put the site under SSL, but this is far from
optimal.

Is there a feature/component/"hack" that will encrypt the password
during these processes?

Thanks in advance,
David
