 The link sent out in mail to create new password sometimes holds
 characters like $

 When clicking the link, that is transformed into %24 (or other possible
 URL encodings).

 The form is loaded niceley, but uppon submitting the form, an "invalid
 key" error is shown. - rightly so, since they key isn't valid.

 The issue is the characters that is used to create the keys.
