• Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with a regular expression in it,
use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression. For example, to create the password abcd]e, you type
“abcd CNTL v ]e”. When the password is created, you do not use the CNTL + v key combination and enter
“abcd]e”.
