Topic: Bug: Error: No special character in password

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 7.5
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL/MariaDB
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?: Yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

For your information, there must be an error in the regex that looks for special characters in the passwords of admin users. I added an admin user with a password that included a circumflex (^), and when I tried to submit I got the error "Error: No special character in password."

I fixed it by adding another special character. I'm just letting you know.

'^' is not listed as a special character, you can see all special characters listed on the right side of change password page.

Re: Bug: Error: No special character in password

OK, you're right, it's not listed, but I'm going by the broad definition of a special character being anything that's not a number or a letter. I think that's the way most people see it.
