Bug No way to escape colons in program arguments for login

So for anyone that might use a colon symbol in their credentials in the -login argument for RuneMate, there doesn't seem to be a way to escape this.

Eg;

-login=username:random:password

Where "random:password" is the actual password, the output shows an invalid argument message.

My thoughts are that either A) the split could only look for the first instance of colon (since usernames/emails don't have colons I'm pretty sure), or B) maybe allow for quotes "" around the password.

People don't have colons, semi-colons or commas in passwords for precisely this reason. Don't use a common delimiter as a password.

I asked @Arbiter about this and was told to make a thread. Obviously the workaround is to not use a colon in the password. That wasn't the point.

If you don't want bugs reported in the dev support section, lmk.
