  No.  This is NOT true.

  With CHAP or MS-CHAP, the proxying server does not see the password.

  With EAP, the proxying server MAY see the password, depending on the
EAP type, and how the proxying works.  It will NOT see the password
for EAP-MD5, PEAP (MSCHAPv2), EAP-TLS, EAP-SIM, etc.

  Please understand how the existing protocols work before designing
another one.
