 * Hello
 * I get allways a message after login attempt, telling that the password is incorrect.
   
   But Username and Password I’m using are correct. They work on normal WP login
   page.
 * Surprisingly, it shows exactly the same error message also after a logout.
    I
   deactivated all other plug-ins. Still the same error. Also same error if using
   the shortcode [login_widget] on a page, or if using the “Loging Widget AFO”.
 * The Shortcode is on this page: [http://www.naenikon.ch/impressum/test/](http://www.naenikon.ch/impressum/test/)
 * Any idea what goes wrong?

 * That is strange. Can you give a demo login details so that I can check. If possible
   please try the plugin in a new WordPress setup.

 * I spent some time on testing different passwords.
    It looks like the plugin doesn’t
   like the usage of “%” in passwords. But for example “&” work fines. I did not
   tested other chracters. Strange that nobody of those 10000 installations of this
   plugin had that issue so far. I found another plugin which does the login functionality
   I need. So I won’t try you pluigin on a new WP setup or provide a demo login.
   But I offer to check if the problem is disappeared if you provide an update for
   your plugin.

 * I was looking into this and found that the issue was caused by < > characters
   in the password. The validation in the password field was causing this issue.
   The issue is fixed now.
