Problem with escape characters in password

  • If a password has any quotes, then wordpress is adding an escape characters to the password when it’s being read/parsed by your plugin. This is causing the hash functions to fails.

    For example, set your password to P’ssw”rd
    Now try to authenticate using MD5 or any other hashing algorithm

    The plugin is trying to compare the hash md5 (P\’ssw\”rd) to the one from the external DB, which has the correct hash md5 (P’ssw”rd)

    I’m using nginx, php 5.6, wordpress 4.6 and version 1.2.3 of your plugin.
