One little know cool thing steam has done for a while is encrypt passwords with a RSA public key before they are sent server side.

Yes, js crypto is not worth a whole lot but it is a valuable security tool to be used with TLS. There are some neat things they could be doing with this encrypted password (other than plainly decrypting it) that add a fair bit of security (no more than just a regular hash though).
