Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5687

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create Bitwarden account with the | and = character in the email address
  2. Attempt to sign in to the Bitwarden Android app

Expected Result

Can sign in successfully

Actual Result

Receive "Invalid email address" error message

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

The email address I use for Bitwarden contains a "|" and a "=" in the local address. The desktop client has no problem with the email address and I receive have received email from Bitwarden at it, but the Android app started giving me the "invalid email address" error a while ago.

I found https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5535 while trying to resolve the issue and I would ask you to add these special characters as well.

What server are you connecting to?
