Initial Comment:
Right now in the settings dialog, when adding a new account we dont do any validation to make sure that (at the very least) the UID or API key are in a valid format.

We could easily check a few things, eg:

- no spaces
- length of UID and api key?
- is UID allways a number?
- no weird characters
- etc...

Message:
I think we have done as much as we can to validate the input and ensure that most common mistakes are caught.

see validation.py
