I've made mistakes passing credentials in the clear. I've made mistakes storing them in the clear. I've made mistakes passing them as md5 hashes. I've made mistakes storing them as md5 hashes. I've made mistakes passing them SSL'd and storing them as md5 hashes with a nonce. I've will make mistakes using bcrypt.
