Mosquitto v2.0.18 - remote_password not accepting special chars

[carda21]

I am sure this has been covered before, but I can't find a resolution. I am trying to setup a bridge to a Dyson Broker I have no control over. The password is huge and contains specials chars. These seem to be breaking the remote connection. How can I solve this? single quotes, double quotes do not work.

Password sample below.

The example password above work fine with mosquitto 2.0.18, mosquitto_sub, and a bridge.

The password seems to be a base64-string which does not need any quotes to be accepted.

Please make sure remote_password and the actual password are on the same line in the configuration file separated by space(s). No quotes are allowed in configuration files!

Could you try to connect sucessfully to the Dyson Broker with mosquitto_sub? This will give you better error messages than the bridge.
