As is was mentioned above - yeah, your ISP could if they really wanted to.
A packet sniffer can be used to capture the encrypted passwords, then they would need to be decrypted - which could take .00001 seconds or 30 years, who knows..
A keylogger would have to reside on your machine for them to snag your password that way - which you'd have to be a complete moron to not know one is on there because just about every mal-ware detection program catches them. If you aren't running one, you had better be pretty good at knowing any/all programs that run on your machine whether in the fore or background.
The key thing to know about ISP's is, they dont give a flying F what your password is to where. And the type of people they hire are generally of the better nature. The odds are you'll get hit by a bus then struck by two bolts of lightning 2 minutes later well before some malicious person is hired and can actually capture your password(s).
