Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/1153

Describe the bug
As per other issues regarding no SSL on initial setup, credentials are sent via plain text.
On initial login, the admin is forced to enter new credentials, which are also sent in plain text.
Then, if the service is exposed to the internet, a new (HTTPS) proxy should be created to the admin interface.
Then, because the new credentials were sent in plain text, the credentials should be changed again using the secured interface.

Nginx Proxy Manager Version
v2.9.3

Expected behavior
Do not force credential change on initial login.
