Today i received a call from a user that his new password for a e-mailaccount wasn't working. He used a slash in his password string.

We are running debian with exim/dovecot for e-mail. Don't know if other applications also have problems with a slash in a password string. But it could be an option to notice the user when he uses unsupported tokens in his password.

Hello,

What version of DA are you using?
I just tested it here but was not able to use forwardslash or backslash in the passwords...
DA would not let me when I tried to set the password with those chars.
