Yes, either you need to document that one character usable by sed as a
limiter cannot be used OR you need to escabe this in the password, e.g.


echo "f7%23/sf#sdjfk/ffdf" | sed 's#/#\\/#g'


This should escape the slash and then allow sed to correctly get the
string - not fully tested yet.

If this fails, I'll look into it again.
