Just tried to register. Pop up appeared:

"Password must be at least 6 characters long and can only contain numbers and letters."

I'm fine with a length limitation, but limiting the character-set - WTF? Stop this right now.

Hi mindhunter thanks for the feedback. I think we had put the same character limitation on the pw as we had on the username. Agree with you that shouldn't be the case and it will be changed in the next version. Welcome any other feedback if you have any.
