Why do you want to do that? That would most likely require sending the
passwords in plaintext. On top of that, the script will have to be
very carefully designed to prevent the passwords from being written to
cache somewhere. (Even then, you can't 100% guarantee some browser
won't do something stupid...)
You're much better off with real kpasswd or an equivalent program.
