Although that is still vulnerable to the well-known form interception attack, so it's not exactly robust. Still, I suppose it's better than nothing. At least it stops passive traffic inspection from being able to pick up passwords.

IMO, if you've got someone sniffing your traffic/tapping your line/man in the middle/whatever, you've got bigger problems than someone stealing your STO account info...

Yes, you're on the Internet. That is often thought to be a problem.
There are a ridiculously large number of ways for anybody to do that sort of thing. Sound security protocols are the only real defence. In practice, nobody cares about your forum/game/blog/drool/whatever account enough to expend the effort needed. If you aren't stealing credit card numbers with an attack, it's not worth the time to set up.

It does. Dont worry, all your info is sent to cryptics secure server.
Thanks for setting me straight.
