Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/149

Describe the bug
I try to authenticate with my Spotify username and password (as uncomfortable as that makes me), but authentication fails. I have a Premium Student account.

To Reproduce
Execute spotify-player, type username, then type password

Expected behavior
Authentication succeeds and I can finally listen to my music

Log and backtrace
Doesn't get far enough to generate a log

Environment

OS: Void Linux x86_64 glibc
Application version: latest commit
Application features: built with cargo build -r --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -Z build-std=std,panic_abort -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort and the following added to all Cargo.toml files:

[profile.release]
strip = true
lto = true
opt-level = 3
panic = "abort"

Additional context
I suspect my password having unusual characters, specifically a double-quote, may be causing this issue.

I'm also on my premium student account right now. However, I've never failed to authenticate.

Username needs to be email; that fixes it.
