It’s just your ISP password that’s unencrypted – assuming that the sites you visit have adequate security/encryption, your username/password for those should be perfectly safe.

Its just your ISP password that is unencripted .
The Financial management sites are all over SSL and relatively safe from hacking.
The worst that can happen in your situation is that someone can use (steal) your dialup connection by listning to your phone line (via a modem) and picking up the username password.

Just your dial-up, the websites themselves deal with password security, usually using an SSL certificate.
