• Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password
with a regular expression in it, you must 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”.
