obviously there is not enough information here for anyone to do anything, most likely there is no problem with poetry

sry More Info:

The problem has now occurred on Windows 10 and 11. We use Poetry to pull from a local Sonatype Nexus Repository. It is used for security and hosting our own packages. Since we speak German naturally, some of us use German letters in our passwords. When logging into the web portal, there is no problem, but when pulling with Poetry, there is always an authentication error as a response. Looking in the server logs of the Nexus Repository, you can also see the login errors.

You need to provide enough detail so that the reader can reproduce what you are seeing; else debug this yourself.

Without any reproduction, we can't do much. My guess would be that your terminal is mangling the input containing the umlauts. Can't say that for sure, but since you are on Windows, anything is possible.
