3It's a URL, you'll possibly need to URL-encode it. – Álvaro González Apr 05 '21 at 07:53

What are the problematic characters? Colon? Slash? At-sign? Whitespace? Accented characters? – Jens Apr 05 '21 at 08:18

basically all. Git has a thing where it ask to convert all special characters in '%hex' format. – pulkit Apr 05 '21 at 09:28

Got The answer. You have to convert whole password in a string of hexadecimal characters separated by '%' sign. Used the following instead of just $password.
$(echo -n $password | hexdump -v -e '"x" 1/1 "%02X"' | tr x %)
