I have been told by vendors that SSNs can be faxed and still be secure enough for HIPAA.
If e-mailing a non-clear-text image of a password is the practical equivalent, I would rather do that.
I do notice that many web sites now make you repeat the characters you see embedded in images, before you can navigate further into the web sites.
I'm assuming that's how they make sure it's a human being looking at the web page, and not some mechanical device sniffing information as the page is downloaded.
