# User pass issue

 * Hello,
 * The user password sanitizing used in login is wrong. I had a password containing“…%
   ea…” in the password, and after an upgrade, it fails to log in.
 * In fact, this part in “profile-magic-login-form.php” remove those characteres:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       // Retrieve possible errors from request parameters$pm_sanitizer = new PM_sanitizer;$request = $pm_sanitizer->sanitize($_REQUEST);$post = $pm_sanitizer->sanitize($_POST);
       ```
   
 * `$_POST` has the correct password, `$post` the incorrect one.
 * Maybe add a new case in the sanitizer instead of failing back to the `sanitize_text_field`
   for `user_pass` ?
 * I upgraded from Version: 5.9.3.3 to Version: 5.9.4.9. The “sanitize” function
   seems to had undergone a big rewrite.
