🎁 New Public API for Validating Login

We added a new endpoint for the Validate Public API called POST Validate Login. This endpoint validates a username/password combination and supports special characters (like # or %) in the password.

Example request body:

{
  "username": "myUserName",
  "password": "aSecurePa$$word123#"
}

This addition replaces the obsolete GET Validate Login—the endpoint did not support all special symbols as some are reserved for URLs. 

Note: GET Validate Login will still work for any clients using it.
