Weather Underground complex passwords

[John Bennett]

Just thought I would add a note here, as I couldn't find it in this forum (although it is mentioned elsewhere..), that if you are using non-standard characters in your Wunderground password, it will work when logging in on the web, but WON'T WORK for uploading data from your weather station.

Interesting, wonder what WU defines as 'non-standard characters' - non alpha-numerics? Anecdotally I would have said we have had cases of WU passwords needing to be enclosed in quotes for WU uploads to work, which implies the passwords had non-alpha-numerics in them. One (weewx-user) post I was just reading seemed to indicate that a user's password contained a comma and enclosing it in quotes fixed the issue.

I guess we can always invoke the Weather Underground Uncertainty Principle - if it's WU and it's supposed to do x, chances are it will do x and sometimes y and z and/or anything but x.
