Follow-up Comment #1:

Good that you have received the account activation link.  Good that you have
used it to verify your email.  However it hasn't been logged that this action
has occurred yet.  The system still lists you as pending and wants you to
verify your email.

You say you are getting an invalid password error when clicking the activation
link.  That leads me to believe that the activation link is getting mangled in
the email somehow.

As far as I can tell using a 20 character password containing the special
characters you listed should be okay. I performed a test just now on the
system's pwqcheck and I was able to use such types of passwords okay.

Which leaves me at a loss to know what the problem is at this time.  If you
think it might be related to using LastPass (although I think it should be
okay) then I suggest avoiding it for the initial account activation step just
so far as to activate your account.  Then use LastPass afterward to reset your
password.

I will assign this ticket to me since I am responding and I don't want it to
languish without a response however I admit to being at a loss here.  Perhaps
one of the other volunteer admins will know of a better plan and will feel
free to jump in. Until then I will wait for feedback on this next attempt.
