Join Web / Sign In App: Passwords with \ Fail

For LibraryThing accounts created on web, if a password contains a backslash, the Sign In fails on the LibraryThing App.

To reproduce:
1. Create a new account on a desktop browser, with a password containing a \ character (backslash).
2. Log into the LibraryThing App with the same account/password.

Bug: "Name or password is wrong" error comes up.

NB: This error DOES NOT HAPPEN if I create the account from the LibraryThing App first, with the same \ in the password.
