Fixed StopForumSpam API key no longer recognized

/admin.php?options/groups/usersAndRegistration/ - XenForo no longer recognizes the API key I've been using (for years) for Stop Forum Spam as valid.

The form field has a red outline. "Please match the requested format: Please enter a valid API key." error.

The API is the exact same one from https://www.stopforumspam.com/keys, letter for letter; case sensitive, copy and paste from SFS to XenForo, no extra or missing characters or spaces.

From the forum admin page:

From SFS:

Did you recently update or did it work before with XF 2.2 in your situation?
Because I have a XF2.2 build couple of days ago and the key is working as far as I could see.

Mine is 14 chars and starts with a number, having no issues with it.
 
I think there's a validation bug here. Looks like we might only be allowing lower case and I can see yours starts with an "A". (Interestingly, our key is all lower case so maybe there has been a change here; the extra validation is relatively new though.)
 
Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.3).

Change log:
Expand the allowed format for StopForumSpam API keys.
There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
