There can be no good reason for excluding the quote character from a password. we should allow all of !~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|"<>?`-=[]\;',./
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
You're right, there is no good reason. The *bad* reason is because, when that code was originally written, I hadn't quite figured out all the quoting rules for all the various places that the password was getting thrown around. And rather than work hard and get the quoting rules right, I was lazy and restricted it to things that were easy to quote. But I'm now much more on top of the way quoting needs to be done, and the world has changed in other interesting ways too, and it's time to relax these restrictions.
The database is being reorganized a bit. Instead of the Bugzilla product, a new Webtools product has been created, with Bugzilla being a component of it. This bug is being moved from the old Bugzilla product to the new Webtools product.
Reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org, who now has front-line responsibility for all Bonsai and Bugzilla bugs.
Reassigning back to me. That stuff about me no longer being the front-line person responsible for Bugzilla and Bonsai turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.
