Warning to users of password transmission in the clear? #1643

Since WifiManger is using HTTP, does it make sense to warn users that passwords are transmitted in the clear? Perhaps add this text to the UI:

Passwords are sent to the device in the clear, and optionally stored on the device with no encryption. Someone could extract these if they got their hands on your device. -Frank
