When trying:
youtube-dl --video-password SPACED PASSWORD https://vimeo.com/123456789
throws:
ERROR: 'PASSWORD' is not a valid URL. Set --default-search "ytsearch" (or run youtube-dl "ytsearch:PASSWORD" ) to search YouTube

The password is a two-word separated by space such as SPACED PASSWORD

if I try --video-password "SPACED PASSWORD" or --video-password 'SPACED PASSWORD' or --video-password="SPACED PASSWORD" OR --video-password SPACED_PASSWORD doesn't work either.

When I view the video on the browser with the supplied password it works.

Password with special characters must be quoted in right kind of quotes. For Windows it's bare double quotes.

Thanks, I found a mismatch between the private vimeo page invitation password and the password for the video only.
Quoting the password with double quotes seems to send it right.
