Beuc, thank you for deleting the pending account.

Before giving more information about this problem I would like to call your attention to sr #106080[0], which is the same problem I described.

[0] - https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106080

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1 - Click the 'New User' link and fill out the form
1.1 - The password should be something like: "#$#&DGdfg3$%"#!"#!"
2 - Wait for the confirmation email
3 - Visit the link present on the confirmation email and fill out the form (username and password)

Now, I also find it hard to believe it's because of special characters, but since there was already an open support ticket about a similar problem, I though that was the reason.

Hi,

I removed the pending account, but I would appreciate steps to reproduce the problem, so I can track and fix it.

The password is hashed using PHP's md5(), see http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=savane-cleanup.git;a=history;f=frontend/php/include/session.php (session_valid_login). It surprises me that it can be due to special characters.

Cheers.

After the signup proccess, the user receives a confirmation email. When visiting the link specified on that message, and correctly entering my login information, it fails with the 'wrong password' information, even though the password is correct.

There is already another bug with the same situation, and judging for that report, I would this this happens when a user has too many special characters.

Now, I'm stuck outside and can't confirm my registration.
