FAQ
Which characters cause problems in database passwords?
Characters that break connection string URLs: @ (user/host separator), # (fragment), % (encoding prefix), and quotes. Stick to alphanumeric and -_!$ for maximum compatibility.
How long should a database password be?
At least 24 characters for database credentials. Since you store them in environment variables (not memorize them), use 32-64 character random strings for maximum security.
