The 'Password management in Django' page is comprehensive on the subject
of storing passwords in the server. But it is missing out a key point
about password security: traffic between client and server needs to be
encrypted when sending user's login details.

Personally, I found the existing documentation so comprehensive that I
thought 'great, someone has thought about all this for me and I don't need
to worry about password security' and forgot all about the need for HTTPS
until someone reminded me (several weeks later). So I think there needs to
be a note on this page about HTTPS.
