This is a well known case of "hashed storage + plain wire" vs. "plain
storage + hashed wire".

In order to have hashed passwords on the wire, you need plain text
passwords in the auth storage.

If you have hashed passwords in the auth storage, you need to transfer
them plaintext over the wire.

We want to be able to do secure logins (DIGEST-MD5) over unencrypted
connection, thus we need to store passwords plaintext.
