Do not use these special characters in password

ericsr

We discovered an issue yesterday and I wanted to make you aware.

DO NOT USE: ` & ( ) ; < > | \ $

We are also planning to remove the password complexity requirements in a forthcoming update.

Thanks for being a part of the Xclaim team!

Follow up: We will be removing the password complexity requirements but it will still require 8 characters. This is necessary for the secure protocol.

The password can include alphabetic, numeric, and special characters, but it cannot include control characters. Do not use spaces.

Oh, is THAT why I keep getting really annoying errors trying to configure/manage and keep having to reset back to factory and reinstall app? Because $ is the special character I've always included in my password? Hmm...good to know thanks!

ericsr

Yes, it is. I apologize for the inconvenience and if you have configured your system with such a character I suggest factory resetting your APs and starting over. Ugly, but required with this one.

dszp

Yeah I've done that a LOT the last couple of days--does the & symbol cause the same issue? Seemed to cause issue for me. What is defined as a control character in your protocol?

samw

yes, everything works perfectly using ! for special character. $ was not working. thanks for the heads up!

I also used the $ but haven't noticed any issues. I'll remove it just in case.

ericsr

If its not the first or last character thats what makes the issue happen. We are working on a solution but its not ready yet.

Let's remove this requirement

Harmony 1.0.3 removes the password complexity requirements (still needs 8 characters).
