There are very few websites that hash the users password before submitting it to the server. Javascript doesn't even have support for SHA or other algorithms.

But I can think of quite a few advantages, like protection against cross-site leaks or malicious admins, which SSL does not provide.

So why is this practise so uncommon among websites?
