Context

Brand new auth context (no previous logins, no cookies passed or so)
Having a twitter account having a # in the password

How to reproduce? Calling Scrapper.login(username, password), with the previously given type of password

Current behavior The following error occures

{"errors":[{"code":399,"message":"Wrong password!"}]}

Expected behavior Being able to log in.

Do you happen to know what that gets sent as in the login flow? I can change my password to check later if not, not sure what they'd be replacing it with on the actual website, though. The password goes through a regular HTTP POST body, so it shouldn't be URL encoding or anything typical like that.
