Wrong error: The password field must have alphabetical characters

[genseirin]

If I try to add a new user with a password containing a "@" it is refused with the message: "The password field must have alphabetical characters, the # and @ symbols, numbers, underscores and dashes only" - while indeed no other characters have been used.
The problem seems to be in the function alpha_dash in the file /application/helpers/valid.php that doesn't allow @.
So you could add @ (and probably also the "#") to the list of allowed characters, or you fix the error message.

Thanks for the heads up @ecobux. There'll be a fix for this soon.

This was fixed by #1373, no longer checking for password characters.
