Question

Answer 1

Why don't you post the values instead of using the querystring? With SSL atleast no one would see the password encrypted or otherwise. Additional passwords in URL don't provide any security. It is like scattering keys to your house all over the neighborhood and hoping that no-one will try them to open your house.

Basically it is a flawed premise. Urls are cached in many ways so it makes sense not to put passwords in them.

However you are not alone in putting passwords in a URL. Check this out
