Would they really go to such lengths to hack some account to your site

No, probably not
Submitting the password when logging in is probably a more pressing matter, no?
So that should be the first security measure i should take

Oh :)
It's http with ssl encryption
Maybe they ask that much because they have validated ssl certificates or something
Validated = signed

Encode the password client side

That wont really help
They could still sniff the hash and send that directly to your server

Damn it
Wait, what if there's a random key stored in a javascript variable
That dictates how it's encoded
And...oh, but it'd have to send the key too
