When a user's password has HTML-like characters in it, ASP.NET automatically does input validation and throws an exception. This default behavior helps prevent things like cross-site scripting attacks. However, there are always cases when you want to allow users to enter html characters.
In our case, passwords are one of those cases. Gordon allows students to have such characters in their passwords, so we need to override the default behavior.
