Usernames with special characters fail to login
Hey there,
together with a friend we discovered that you can't login to PlexRequests if your Plex.tv username contains special characters such as ä, ü, ö etc. The name shows up correctly in the log, but it always fails to login - even with the correct password. After renaming the Plex account everything worked fine.
A fix would be good, as these characters are allowed in any Plex.tv username and rather common in some languages.
Hmm, gonna need to look into JavaScripts handling of Unicode characters.
Question, does it work if you turn off the need for a password or does it still fail?

I just created a test account called "Bärenjunge" and tested logging in with and without password. When I disable password authentication the login works fine, with password I get a 401 error popup (wrong username/password) - so it seems to be related to the password check.
(sorry for the long silence)
Recently updated the Plex Authentication library and I suspect this issue will likely be resolved since we're now using the new Plex login endpoint.
