I assume you're referring to the saved logins, which include the ID and password for a site. Are plain text passwords actually sent to the server? It depends. Apache authentication can do it, but with encrypted connections, I would expect plaintext.
And how would they be stored on the server?
In my case, it is a an embedded Linux machine, and the password is hardcoded. I just google the community sites of the machines and read the password. It is "l1nux" :-P I have not tried to change it, I think it may be read only and don't want to risk bricking the machine: cer@Legolas:~> ssh -X cer@remote_internet_address ... cer@Isengard:~> telnet moria Trying 192.168.1.2...
