I tried logging in on browser and I had inspected the request. My password was sent in plaintext. Is this a infosec.pub issue or a Lemmy one?

    You are describing TLS, which is commonly used for websites and web apps.

    Try the following command:

    openssl s_client -connect infosec.pub:443

    The public key, the authority that signed the certificate, and the cypher used will all be visible.

    For me, the cipher used is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384.
