[fixed] 1.5.0 BETA - Can't Use Special Characters in Admin Password?

Clean install of version 1.5.0 BETA.

I like to use special characters in passwords (@, # etc.) but when I try to use them in the admin password, it tells me the password is rejected. Is this a bug, or are only letters and numbers allowed for some reason ? Thanks.

Not actually a bug. That's how it was designed to work.

But DrByte has promised to look at extending it to include symbols for the final release.

Discussion is here.
