If they use a wrong certificate for a MITM attack they might decode your connection... It means nobody between you and the "next endpoint" can read your password, but how to ensure what the "next endpoint" really is?

Well actually they could construct a terribly poor or well-known "secret" key so that the encryption is "pre-broken" (can easily be decrypted).

    Yes, but only if you send the password in the clear.
    Don't do this. In fact don't do *anything* in the clear.
    Only use encrypted connections - https for web sites, TLS or other
    encryption methods for
    SMTP/POP/IMAP to get mail, ssh, etc, etc.
    Encrypt any valuable data.
    Trust nothing.
