My YouTube password has a semicolon in the password. I tried the password both with and without quotes. Each time, I'm told the password is invalid. Yet, both the user name and password were entered correctly. Do I need to escape the semicolon?

Escaping rules depend on your shell.

Then I should have mentioned the password was specified in the configuration file. I'm using PowerShell as my shell on Windows 10.
