Password returned in plain text if begins with '@'

What type of hardware are you using: Virtual machine
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.39
How are you able to access your server: SSH

Describe your issue

I discovered I would receive an ‘incorrect password’ notification when attempting to make changes in Nextcloud. As this app uses SSO, I attempted to change my password in the YunoHost web gui.

I discovered that it would display “unrecognized arguments: ” when attempting to do this.

I believe this is because this particular password begins with ‘@’ and thus may act as some sort of escape character.

The issue is tracked already here: Password starting with at sign not accepted · Issue #2557 · YunoHost/issues · GitHub , not that this makes situation any better :grimacing:
