Ampersand Character in Password

    Hi,

    This might or might not be specific to my device, which is a Bresser WLAN 7-in-1 Weather Station.

    When trying to connect to ws.awekas.at, I simply could not get it to work.

    I tried many things, then I wondered about my password.

    I had some special characters in my password, which I removed one by one and retried.

    It turns out that having the ampersand character "&" in my awekas account password was the cause of the problem.

    I removed that character, and everything started working :smiling_face:

    Hope this is useful to someone in future.

    Regards,

    David.

    We recommend it to every user everytime:

    You should use special characters when logging into internet services (online banking, mailing etc),

    but NEVER use special characters in your weather station passwords!
