Special characters in a URI component should be encoded using percent-encoding, in your case, @ becomes %40.

@julien-f thank you
this really helped me
in addition the password must be inside "" for example P@ssw0rd be "P%40ssw)rd"

thanks again @olivierlambert @julien-f

FYI, an extremely basic command line to encode passwords:

> node -e 'process.stdin.on("data", _ => {console.log(encodeURIComponent(_.toString().trim())); process.exit()}); process.stdout.write("Password: ")'
Password: foo@bar
foo%40bar
