[Fix] password contains invalid characters!

Several times I have been contacted by people with trouble entering a valid password upon registration.
They would get an error like this: "Password is too short or contains invalid characters!"

I carefully looked at the corresponding function in PasswordAuth.class.php:
Download source  GeSHi: PHP
  1. 	// Checks if new password input is valid
  2. 	private function _isValidPasswordInput() {
  3. 		if (preg_match("/^[0-9A-Z@!#$%&\/\(\)=\-_?+\*\.,:;]{8,64}$/i", $this->inputNewPassword)) {
  4. 			return true;
  5. 		} else {
  6. 			return false;
  7. 		}
  8. 	}
  9.  
Parsed in 0.018 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.10

But could not find anything wrong.

Then I looked at the translation in the locale files and here is the culprit. The \ (backslash) is presented as a valid character in a password, but it is NOT.
In user_fields.php change:
Download source  GeSHi: PHP
  1. $locale['u147'] = "Password must be between 8 and 64 chars long.Allowed symbols are a-z, 0-9 and @!#$%&\/()=-_?+*.,:;"; 
Parsed in 0.008 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.10

to (note the misplaced \ (backslash) here)
Download source  GeSHi: PHP
  1. $locale['u147'] = "Password must be between 8 and 64 chars long.Allowed symbols are a-z, 0-9 and @!#$%&/()=-_?+*.,:;"; 
Parsed in 0.007 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.10


The \ (backslash) is used to escape some special characters in a preg_match function. Apparently this is a typo in the locale file and need to be fixed in order to ensure smooth registration of new users. Now they get frustrated and leave your site.
