Insert your browser log here, this could for example include:
a) The javascript console log
b) The network log
c) ...
The same applies to other special characters, like ß, %, ü, ä, ö, etc.
Using the same password for the imap login directly works fine. Gave me some headache in the past when users reported login issues.
Any update here? This issue causes support effort besides the reduced password strength.
