XSS filtering and passwords
#1

[eluser]nl_vinyl[/eluser]
In all my applications I use global XSS filtering. However the passwords are apparently filtered as well and special characters are giving problems.

If I test this with a password like: Hello2014&, a user is never able to login. The "&" character is the problem.

Is there a way to correct this issue? If possible without turning of global filtering?

Why not just use the input class xss_clean?

Since forgetting it once will haunt you till eternity and I it will require me going through the whole application.

I did some more digging and found a fix for it:
