HTTP GET authorization, how to make it difficult to intercept password and login?
I am developing a smart keychain, when it sees an open WiFi network, it connects to it and makes a GET request to my server, approximately in this format server / auth / login / pass , in response, receives the data it needs.
It is impossible to make HTTPS support on the key fob. Login and password are sent via HTTP in the clear.
Tell me how you can make it difficult to intercept the login and password?

Make a dynamic password that is valid exactly at the time when he logs in.
Come up with an algorithm so that your key fob and the server synchronize this password in time or in another way so that the interception of a single password does not matter.
If it is impossible to fasten HTTPS, you can at least make home-made encryption. The symmetric encryption algorithm does not require a lot of resources, the key can be sewn into a key fob (for each copy of the key fob, generate its own, store one copy in the key fob, the second on the server).
