I do admit that this is something that should eventually be fixed. The reason I am avoiding it at this point is because such changes affect all the customers, and it's a really touchy piece of code. Further complication is that all changes must be synchronized in front-end code, back-end code, and the database. Not all the special characters are an issue, but $ and % definitely are.

If you email Mario directly you could help support gixen by helping him to improve this aspect, he has a method whereby you can submit a password securely to him, then you could help test any changes he is able to make.

If you are prepared to do that then your pointing it out is helpful.

My eBay password contained special characters (" % *) and I could not log in with Gixen until I changed my password to something without special characters. Weak!
