I have been working with htpasswd and .htaccess to limit access to a website. When I create a user with htpasswd and specify a password with the symbols '$', '&', or '!' I cannot log into the website. When I specify a password without those symbols I can log into the website. The man page for htpasswd did not state certain special characters are not allowed. Is there a reason why I can't use the $, &, or ! symbol?
