Handling Email Addresses With Plus Signs in the Username

A community member asked if the Kinde platform can handle email addresses with "+" in the username via the "login_hint" parameter, as it seems to remove the "+" when they tried it. Another community member responded that they use emails with "+" internally and will look into the issue. The original poster then confirmed the issue was fixed, but did not provide details on what the problem was.

In a follow-up comment, the community member who fixed the issue explained that there was a step between accepting an invite via email and before posting to the platform, where the "+" was being sanitized only at the point of setting the URL params for the "login_hint" on the outgoing invite email. When the user landed back at the app before posting, the "+" was not sanitized again, causing it to be converted to a space on the outgoing POST request.
