Hello to all ! 

I have a question about security !

I have a login form in Flutter. When the user click on the login button, i send login information to my server (php)... should i need to encrypt the password in Flutter or i can do it in PHP ?

Thanks a lot !

How are you sending it? In the body of a POST? Over https?

Hello Andy,

Thank a lot for your message ! 

Yes my server it in HTTPS.
In flutter i do :

final http.Response response =
    await http.post(strurl, body: json.encode(info));


I read about JTW token... so my server will create a token that will be send back to Flutter... so in the next request by the app, i will send the Token....

But for the first time,  when user try to login, i sent in the http.resquest the email and password...

should i need to encrypt it or i don"t need ?

Thanks a lot !

Pascal

If in body of POST and https then no need to encrypt.
