Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

For an indexer using ISO 8859-1 encoding, logins fail when using a password which contains special or accented characters, see rows Ax to Fx here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1#Code_page_layout

Expected Behavior

Works, as in Jackett.

Steps To Reproduce

1. have password containing special or accented character for ISO 8859-1 encoded tracker (e.g. Deildu, Genesis-Movement, TribalMixes)
2. try to add indexer
3. fail with 'wrong credentials' error, despite them being correct

Jackett seems to use a mix of UTF-8 and Latin1 on this one.

Tried with TribalMixes earlier, but after I added è to my password I get the following message and can't login anymore even with the old password. The only way is to reset the password, so on this I'm inclined to say it's rather a site issue.

Update failed!

That doesn't look like a valid email address.

Odd, I've just tested Deildu, Genesis-Movement, and TribalMixes with è in their passwords, and they all worked in browser and Jackett. That's also a weird error to get for a password issue. I can cause that error by add a trailing/leading space in the email field, or using a + in the email address.

I'll test the others when I'll have more time available but for Tribal I can't even change the password. Only the one from the reset works for me. 😆
