 ### Auth
 
-The authentication credentials should be specified in the `auth` component of the URI. A special case is when the server uses the `userpass` authentication, in which case the `auth` component should be formatted as `username:password`.
+Authentication credentials should be specified in the `auth` component of the URI. This is essentially the username part of the standard URI format, and therefore needs to be [percent-encoded](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-2.1) if it contains special characters.

 ### 验证
 
-验证密码应在 URI 的 `auth` 中指定。特殊情况是服务器使用 `userpass` 验证时，`auth` 应格式化为 `username:password`。
+验证密码应在 URI 的 `auth` 中指定。这部分实际上就是标准 URI 格式中的用户名部分，因此如果包含特殊字符，需要进行 [百分号编码](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-2.1)。
