seems to work fine for most of those, but some are symbols and not sure why you would expect those to work?

those euro symbols I think are the issue. Which returns

I could update the program to block the use of those characters £ and €

Another password which should be perfectly valid, but failed to work: p^f^9Z3*U*mX78%f5Jg4

Those are all standard ascii and do not cause an issue with most other services.

The above password was generated by my Vaultwarden instance, and has been retired now. Changing to a new password generated with pwgen 20 1 allowed me to login finally.

Thanks i'll look into those and clarify what characters are possible, the above character set should all work.
