Note on Passwords Containing the @ Character
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When specifying a password in the connection URL, the password appears after
the username and before the @ symbol that separates credentials from the server
address. If your password itself contains an @, you must escape it by replacing
each @ in the password with @@. This ensures the connection string is parsed
correctly.
