login credentials should not be transferred in http:// you should be using https instead to have a secure transfer mode.

As your page having password field is opening in http mode you are getting this risk. If it is devlopement environment it is ok but make sure your site should have https enabled when you deploy your code else there would be no use of your credentials they can be hacked using session hijacking

I solved this issue with the help of a system administrator. He added SSL certificate to the site. It turned my site from http:// to https://
