A colon is a valid character in the password, however currently the chars including and after the colon are stripped of the password which leads in false-positives (user can't login even if the password is correct). This commit fixes that. Fixes jaredhanson#20

Can we please merge this in? This fixes a critical issue for an application I'm working on. |

Any reason why this hasn't been merged? IMO it's also a sec issue since it lowers entropy of passwords. Users can base64 encode to get around this I suppose, but it's not ideal |
