# Invalid Verification Code – passwords with special chars

 * I’m using Register Plus Redux 3.9.10 on WordPress 3.9.
 * We’ve been getting messages from people saying that they are unable to verify
   their accounts.
 * When attempting to verify (by either clicking the link in their email, or manually
   copy/pasting it) they get an error saying “Invalid verification code.”
 * The verification code is their chosen password if I’m not mistaken, and it only
   seems to happen if they have some special characters in the password. I’ve tested
   with both ! and # and they both caused the error. Using a plain alphanumeric 
   password works fine.
