Description

if I pass a password with special characters but especially a $ send fails for test email. I'm hoping it's not an actual security issue and just a fail. It would be nice if this worked with special characters in password.

Vikunja Version

23.0 latest docker image

Browser and version

cli

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

No

Screenshots

you need an NA option for can reproduce on demo site because I don't have cli/docker compose access to the demo site.

How are you hosting Vikunja? How are you passing the password?

The $ sounds like a yaml problem.

yes, docker compose. I had to put the password in quotes for it to work, otherwise I would get another variable created at the $. with the quotes it appears too to pass correctly but then fail on attempting to login.
