I'm thinking on implementing login via App so I avoid using a webview, for user experience purposes.

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/authentication-create-session-from-login

Seeing the examples, i should send as a body the user id and password

{
  "username": "",
  "password": "",
  "request_token": ""
}

Is it secure to send sensitive data such as password as a string? Is there a consideration to take regarding that info?

Thanks in advance :)
