I tried the same thing with the same password (me&my) and it got the 403 error. When I set it to "memy" (no quotes) it worked fine. I've also noticed that, when posting markdown posts that include html, all the < and > characters are being stripped from the code. Perhaps some kind of encoding issue? Unfortunately I don't know much about that.

I tried changing my password to ‘me&my’. I deleted the key chain entry and then did “Fetch Posts”, entered this new password, and I got the list of posts.
